This might shock some of you, but spiny lizards DO eat flowers on occasion. here in southern california, we have many different sceloporus (swifts) species and all of them are known to browse on creosote bush flowers from time to time. Yarrows and Crevice spiny lizards are the most likely to do this. Its an easy source of water. I actually gave mine spiders as a main food source, as they are soft, and easy to digest. (but not everyone has the balls to grab a spider)
hey cool io have one it looks like ayoungster or afemale no blue belly so im guesseing afemale but its big like 5 or 4 inch but mine burrows itself why ???
Burrowing is totaly normal when the temp is to low or too high like at night or on a hot day. It does sound like you have a female. The females are smaller all around, with no blue on the belly. I don't think yours is done growing like bo up there^ :). Good luck!
okay thank you man alot of help yup shes getting bigger she is youse to her tank know i took off the sand and put wood chips well have sand half woodhips only like alittle bit of woodhiops the repti bark one but im leaqning her cage soon i aught her oput side my house i feed he rtermites and crickets imwhat do they eat what do you recommend me
In a word, No. In more words, They might look like mini beardies, but they are not to be trusted out of the cage(or even near the rim) like you might trust a beardy.
Bo isn't a fan of veggies in the least. Beardy owners are strongly encoraged to feed a ballanced diet.
I'd have to say if you like bearded dragons, get a bearded dragion. These aren't them.
i think the blue bellies are a lot more tame. i caught a baby one and it tried to bite be for the first week whenever i tried to touch it. after the first week, the little guy was really tame and cute lol.
ok thanks! i have a 20 long set up for a baby bearded dragon but the guy at the pet store told me crevice spiny lizards are just like beardies except cheaper and they stay smaller :) oh, he also told me they could eat lettuce!
i saw these lizards at petco and was interested in them. i cant seem to find any info on them though, could you tell me what they eat and lighting requirements, thanks!
Sure! He's currently in a 10G tank with a 75 watt reptile bulb on him. I will probably change it to a 50 watt since it's warming up. Otherwise, he eats about 6 large crickets every few days, and you have to give him a bow for water. Mist the cage too. He's very easy to take care of, but he's very fast, so he isn't one to be held much. Give him something to hide under/bask on. Don't use a rock because they have no heat sensors on their stomachs and can literally fry themselves. Good luck!
Looks like towards the end he came pretty close to being completly choked to death. Eatin like a champ!.

are these similar to blue bellys? if so how do you keep them?

He is a blue belly, that is another name for him. He gets a blue belly when he's angry, or when there is a female.

@GunSlinginJerry No, a blue belly is an entirely different species. They're smaller than crevices.

Spiny lizards much prefer live food though. They're also far more aggressive, usually.
