Yellow-Throated Plated Lizard
Gerrhosaurus flavigularis
The yellow-throated plated lizard inhabits grassland, scrub and wooded habitats in eastern and southern Africa. Its brown armored body often has two pale yellow lengthwise stripes and a yellow throat, with a long tail and short strong legs. It has been kept and bred in specialist collections.
Ground housing provides secure shelters, suitable basking light and warm and cooler areas, with invertebrate food and access to water. Females lay eggs. It is distinct from the larger, stockier Sudan plated lizard, Broadleysaurus major.
