Cover story: Toad lizards

The bizarre toad lizards of the genus Phrynosoma are among the almost legendary terrarium animals. Every reptile lover is probably enchanted by the appearance of these small North American iguanas, but they have a reputation for being impossible to keep. However, more and more dedicated terrarium keepers are succeeding not only in keeping these food specialists for many years, but also in breeding them successfully. We provide an overview of the genus, discuss the problem of feeding these animals and provide two examples of successful keeping and breeding.

Previously rather underappreciated, various very attractive colour forms have recently been bred, and this has led to a real boom. But even the normally coloured animals – and the natural spectrum of the eastern hook-nosed snake in particular covers an extremely wide range of colours – are extremely lovable terrarium pets.We present all species in detail, offer detailed breeding reports even on rarer forms, and a splendidly illustrated overview of current developments in colour variety breeding is of course also included.
