Taylor's Strange Agama
Xenagama taylori
Taylor's strange agama inhabits dry country in northwestern Somalia and eastern Ethiopia. Its compact body has a broad, very short shield-like tail, sandy to reddish coloration and, in displaying males, a blue throat. It is kept and bred by specialist reptile keepers. Housing needs substrate that supports burrowing, stable shelters and controlled basking opportunities with cooler retreats and access to water.
Insects form most of the diet, with some greens also offered by keepers. Females bury eggs. It is also called the dwarf shield-tailed agama.
