Rusty is a healthy adult female without any ailments that would affect the babies.


Health:

  • Eyes are clear and bright
  • Muscles and bones are strong with no signs of MBD
  • Eats well, never refuses food and accepts all kinds of insects as well as plants
  • A little bit larger than all other Texas Spinys I have owned or found. Babies may hopefully inherit her genetics for size.
  • Rusty does have an old wound on her tail, but that was from external reasons, not genetics or health. She cut herself on something.

Coloration:

  • A nice blend of browns over the top of her body, with a white underbelly that includes brown and black speckles
  • Bright orange down her back and sides unlike most other Sceloporus olivaceus
  • Black stripes running down alongside the orange but in a horizontal pattern in the center of the back
  • A black stripe running down her body on either side

Temperament :

  • Quite tame and calm, docile
  • Has never bitten or hissed
  • Allows petting occasionally
  • As this is not a domestic species, she can still be skittish sometimes. But not to the extent of other spinys I have had.
  • Rusty has been the most calm and friendliest spiny lizard I have owned
