    Wow. You sure know how to pick the obscure ones don't you? But I like a challenge. :D Well, from what I can gather, Sungazers are about as rare in the pet trade as finding a $2 bill on the street. And captive bred sungazers are even rarer. Nevertheless, I was able to dig up one webpage from a guy who actually has been keeping sungazers since 1989. He talks about his experiences with them, and along the way he shares enough information for this to be a workable care sheet, or at least the closest thing to a Sungazer care sheet I've seen so far.

    Enjoy! :p

    Well, "Sungazer" is sort of generic, it can be any of the lizards in the Cordylus family. Here are a few:

    C. giganteus
