@geniusgene I have never seen this in amevias and i had 4 of them so far. they seem very tame. i hold them all the time. maybe your hand is approaching from the back like a predator? this could spook them.

They love swimming

You need to feed it mostly insects with some egg or ground turkey/chicken.
The temperature you wrote is a typo right?
If your enclosure is below like 85 degrees F, you do need a source of heat. Not too hot. Like in the low to mid 90s on the warm side.

Well I gave him away but no he was not very handleable. Ameivas are generally very skittish and taking that in conjunction with having very long claws results in them being more of a display animal.

@kyuubimon Yes they are. I hold mine all the time. It greatly depends on how they are treated. Alot of ppl will just throw them in a terrarium just to watch them. If you touch them alot and hold them they get used to it. Alot of human interaction will lead to a tame amevia. Some ppl whine about their scratching but its no worse then holding a fussy kittin. When they bite it actually feels like a kittin nibbiling on you. exept a kittin has sharp teeth lol. oh and they love the bath tub

I don't know what you do with your ameivas but they are as a whole very skittish flighty lizards. Its easily seen that they are not fond of human interaction so what you may be doing is stressing them out a lot. Ameivas are more display species than tame pets.
