But where is the Tribolonotus gracilis in this list?

A curly tailed lizard saved my life in key west once. There was an enormous cockroach (palmetto bug) on the sidewalk in broad daylight, blocking my path. That roach feared no man, he was the gutter king of that patch of sidewalk, and he knew it. there was no getting past him. Everyone was stepping onto the road in fear. Then, like a knight in shining armor, a curly tailed lizard came out of nowhere and gulped him down even though the roach was like a fourth of his size. We were able to safely pass by on our way and everyone on key west slept a little more soundly that night, knowing we had a hero watching over us all.

These phylogeny videos are always so cool. Sorry to change the subject Clint but I wanted to share a reptile story. My family was at the beach last week and my 4 year old daughter got sand in her eye. We went to wash it out and on the walk back from the bathroom we saw a rattlesnake (I suspect a Northern Pacific Rattlesnake.) It was less than a foot from the walking path. We have a pet hognose snake so my daughters LOVE snakes. I paused and told my 4 year old to hold still and I told her that there was a rattlesnake. She was at a safe distance. She simply smiled and said "it's SO CUTE!" I asked if we should get close to it and try and pet it and she immediately responded correctly that we don't get close to rattlesnakes. But she was never afraid and came back from getting her eyes rinsed out with a big smile and excitement because she got to see a rattlesnake up close but at a safe distance. I love how your videos have taught my girls and how having a snake has helped them love reptiles.

"During the breeding season, males display three different throat colors: orange, blue, or yellow. Each color corresponds to a specific mating strategy. Orange-throated males are territorial and defend large areas with multiple females. Blue-throated males are aggressive and take over territories from orange-throated males. Yellow-throated males mimic females and sneakily mate with females in their territories." So sometimes the bad boys get the girls, and sometimes the simps do!

Here is a cool fact about iguanas, they can hold their breath for around 10 minutes. I grew up in south Florida and iguanas would get scared into our pool by our dogs. And well, the dogs enjoyed the taste of iguanas. They would wait until the iguana would come up for air and grab it of the water, and that usually took about 10 minutes. We also on occasion got to see the lizards that walk on water, although they were always able to cross the pool and slip out on the other side before the dogs could get them.

I like the idea of Agamid August, especially since they're some of my favorite lizards and it's my birth month. A match in my book. Also, your chameleon eyes were Really Impressive!! That was rad to watchh.

I was going to say that obviously I'd choose the chameleons for a video until you did that slideshow of the "dragon lizards". Wow! I want to see more. But there are all those amazing chameleon features; they're just not as diverse. To tell the truth, there are so many amazing families in iguania you could spend the rest of the year on them, but please don't since you have so much more to cover. But do do them eventually. They're fascinating.

I get so excited on Fridays to know that another video is coming out that Saturday.

The agamidea are my favorite group. Especially the 'dragon' branch (which in my native language are called agame). Looking forward to a video about them. My favorites are Rankin's dragon, Eastern water dragon and frilled dragon. A nice thing about them is that they stand and walk at a more upright position. Not belly sliders like many lizards. I also like their head designs a lot. And many of them appear to have characters that make them great as pets.

I always make the mistake of trying to watch this with a banging hangover.. will need to come back when my brain working a bit better 🤯😅😅

East Central Florida has seen two introduced species become quite prominent over the last several years. One is the northern curly tailed lizard, as you mentioned. The other is Peter's rock agama. (Also, we have crocodiles now too, but that is just a native species expanding its range.)

There is always so much relevant information packed into the limited time space of your videos. You teach and explain things in a way that is easily understood and retainable. Thanks for the another awesome video. Respect

Yay for this video! All of the deep dive videos seem fun, but I'd love to see the chameleon video sooner than later-- I visited a pet shop in a mall that had a few on display when I was a teenager. Watching them move was fascinating--the feet were so different than anything I've ever seen. I was sad to learn that they don't really make good pets--but they're still fascinating creatures

35:49 wonderful reference

I care not what anybody sez, Common green anoles are the Bestest easy peasy lizard pet ever. Best first reptile pet ever. Active in the day, responsive to their keeper. Doesnt hurt if they bite. Changes colors, hardy and cute 💕

I remember being on holiday in the Bahamas when I was a kid (would've been the late eighties / early 90s) and curly tails were everywhere! and they really were proud of them, with curly tails printed on clothes and everything

My favorite basilisk is Roko's basilisk.

I live in Bangkok and often see butterfly lizards sunning themselves on trees. I did think they were iguanas at first, but found out later they're not.

Can you do a video on the hyrax? Im seeing more and more videos on social media of these animals being kept as pets (mainly in Asia).

The amount of times he said “iguana” in quick succession made it stop sounding like a real word

Agama agama is doing its best to take over this part of south Florida (roughly 100 miles north of Miami on the coast). Displacing the native lizards. Here in Martin County the genetics imply four introductions, as if someone tried really hard to ensure we have them.

Cool video, man. A brain twister like always. I first learned about agamids as a kid growing up in Japan - we had the arboreal Diploderma polygonatum (Okinawa tree lizard). They were tough as hell to catch because you had to climb into the trees to get after them & if you managed to snag one they had a surprisingly strong bite ready for you. Beautiful lime/neon green & could change to brown. Forgot all about them, but this took me back ❤

Actually, the Iguania infraorder is split into five superfamilies: Agamoidea (Chisel-Toothed Lizards), Chamaeleonoidea (Chameleons and Fossil Relatives), Anoloidea (Anoles), Basiliscoidea (Helmeted Lizards, North American Spiny Lizards, Collared Lizards, Leopard Lizards, and Curlytails), and Iguanoidea (Iguanas) There are a total of eighteen extant families of iguanian lizards, the chisel-toothed lizards (superfamily Agamoidea) are further divided into the families Agamidae (Western Chisel-Toothed Lizards) of Africa, Europe, and some of Asia and Draconidae (Eastern Chisel-Toothed Lizards) of Oceania and a majority of Asia, the chameleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are the sole extant family of the superfamily Chamaeleonoidea, the anoles (superfamily Anoloidea) are split into the families Polychrotidae (Bush Anoles) and Anolidae (True Anoles), the Basiliscoidea superfamily contains the families Leiocephalidae (Curlytails), Crotaphytidae (Collared Lizards and Leopard Lizards), Phrynosomatidae (North American Spiny Lizards), and Basiliscidae (Helmeted Lizards), and the iguanas (superfamily Iguanoidea) are split into the families Cycluridae (Primitive Iguanas), Hoplocercidae (Spiny-Tailed Iguanas), Liolaemidae (South American Swift Iguanas), Uranoscodontidae (Mophead Iguana), Tropiduridae (Lava Iguanas), Iguanidae (True Iguanas), Leiosauridae (Leiosaurs), Brachylophidae (Togian Iguanas), and Opluridae (Malagasy Iguanas) While being split into eighteen extant families under five superfamilies, iguanians are also split into the parvorders Acrodonta for both chisel-toothed lizards and chamaeleonoids and Pleurodonta for the anoles, basiliscoids, and iguanas.

Depends on the biologist.

We have an Oplurus cyclurus "iguana" and he's wonderful. Cool little animals.

Every time you say we'll get to that in a future video, I just want to jump into the future to watch the videos 😂 I love this series, learning, and your enthusiasm!

I'm just here for the chameleons! Edit: if you do a full chameleon video, would you discuss their second tongue? I never see anyone talk about it. But when my chameleons "lick" me, their tongue is forked. But the tongue that shoots out is like a booger on a looooong sticky hand toy!

I only watch these videos to find out who my distant cousins are and it turns out I have alot of them now

I enjoy these SO much! ❤❤

As a floridian, I'd like to see an anole vid

Also i grew up loving Agamids and will continue to'do so until my last day. What an awesome taxon.

Hey Clint Laidlaw, Why don't you get to think of a suggestion and creating a KZread Videos all about the🐟Phylogeny Group Of Lobe-Finned Fish🐟on the next Clint's Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
