Red-headed Rock Agama is a social lizard. In the
wild, they live in groups of a few females and a
few males with one male being the dominant. Their
habitat includes rocky areas. A wide variety of
foods must be provided as they require more nutrition
then any other lizard I know of. A UVB light is
a must, which will aid them in digestion of Calcium
and other vitamins.
