*All females have been spoken for at this point. Right now I only have juvenile males available. My females are gravid again so hopefully more unrelated pairs available later this summer.

 

The Knuckles mountain pygmy lizard (Cophotis dumbara) is one of the rarest lizards in herpetoculture and is also critically endangered in it's native Sri Lanka. They are a perfect species to keep though as they are small, bold, active, hardy, and breed readily in captivity. Care is very similar to an Abronia or Uroplatus although I have found Cophotis to be hardier than those other genera. I believe these are the first Cophotis dumbara to be offered on the open market. There are currently only a handful of breeders of this species in the USA but that will certainly change as people start to catch on to how wonderful these little lizards are. They make a perfect display species and are very interactive with their keepers. Many of mine will beg for food and jump on my hand during enclosure maintenance.

 

I have a care article that I wrote on this species posted on my website here:
