I found this name as well "Gonocephalus grandis" but not a lot of specific information. I also found that they are also called Tree Dragons. Thanks Marsha, I found one of those but hadn't found the other site yet.

I also found the same thing as Marsha. It would be nice to find out if there were any reputable breeders and care information for those little guys because they are pretty neat looking.

Yikes! If they were any bigger, like the size of a great dane or something I would definitely be creeped out by them, but since they are small they are just cool looking.
