I thought I'd start a thread to showcase this family of fascinating critters. Please feel free to add your own photos and comments. I'll start with the scaly foots (or is it feet in plural?). Firstly the Eastern Scaly (Pygopus schraderi) which seems to be one of the more commonly kept and bred species. Being rather small and long lizards getting a whole body shot in focus is a challenge! here's a head of one of my more unusually coloured males:
and a body shot of another more typically coloured one:
and some of this years young, showing a nice yellow hue, and perhaps pretending to be something venomous:
and now the Western Scaly-foot (Pygopus nigroceps):
and one of the babies which were pink before their first shed and now more orange:
I'm interested to see what else is out there
