 Sudan Plated Lizard pics

Hello:
He looks really good. That one shot shows the femoral pores very well. The Lizard you have is not a Sudan Plated. It’s sometimes called a Black-Lined (though that is a different animal entirely) and sometimes called a Giant Plated Lizard, hence the name (Gerrhosaurus major grandis).
It is a subspecies of the Sudan Plated and they are often brought in the same shipments so quite often both species are sold under one name. Sudans are a solid reddish brown on top. There are pictures of them farther down the page on another post.
Have a Great Day!!!
