The
Rock Agama (Agama Mwanzae) which is native to Kenya is almost uncannily
like that of the Marvel superhero, and comic book fans have been
flocking to exotic pet shops to snap them up. It is unable to throw
webs, but can change colour. The brightly coloured males will change
brown at night or change if they are frightened. They can also run on
their hind legs, and like Spidey, can scale vertical walls.
Agamas like the Spider-Lizard, as it has become known make good pets, as they become tame and docile if handled regularly. However, they require specialist equipment in the UK to maintain their temperature.
It can grow up to a foot long, and the squeamish may find it a problem to feed – a balanced diet for an agama includes locusts, crickets, mealworms and waxworms.
