"Hi my name is Tim Cole with the Austin Reptile Service, I've been keeping reptiles and amphibians for over forty years. And we're here to talk about armadillo lizards. This is a lizard that occurs in South Africa, they're not very common in the pet trade. They're an interesting lizard that has a lot of spikes on the tail, which they use as a defense mechanism against birds of prey. Which could feed on them. What they'll do is they'll roll up with their head, grabbing their tail to form a ring, which results in a lot of spikes exposed to help protect themselves. These are lizards that feed on small insects, they also give live birth. And they've been records as they actually feeding their babies, which most lizards don't do that. They're not a very colorful lizard, they're pretty much chocolate brown for the most part. And they get to about ten inches long, and since they do live in South Africa they do like the drier terrarium set up."
