Got a Melanistic Painted Agama and it’s been a fun addition to my collection. It’s active and enjoys being in a group. The enclosure setup was simple and it adapted quickly. Very interesting to watch it interact with others.

This agama is more active than expected. It likes to climb and explore. I kept it with two others and they get along well. Feeding is straightforward with crickets. Needs a bit of space but thrives in a small setup.

The coloration is striking and unique. It’s a great choice for someone interested in colorful reptiles. Easy to care for once the enclosure is set up. Very social and entertaining to watch.
