hay all does any one have a full size armadillo lizard if so can someone send me a pic?, so I know how big he will get, also I cant seem to find to much literature on this type of lizard is there anyth4ing that I should know about this lizard that is unuiqe?

from the info I have,,,they reach a max length of 10"....here's a brief caresheet:

Use a full spectrum UVB light; this will output good UV rays for calcium absorption so that it can digest its food better. The UVB light should be used for 8-10 hours of ultraviolet lighting. This can be maintained by using a timer.
Temperature
The daytime temperature should be between 75-85 degrees. The Basking area should have a temperature from 90-100 degrees. At nighttime the temperature should be 70-75 degrees.
Humidity
Humidity should be at 45%
Food
Crickets and wax worms dusted with calcium. adults should be fed every other day, juveniles can be fed 2 times daily since they will be growing.
Water
Shallow dish of water. Water must be changed daily. Also daily misting of cage will help keep humidity up and simulate natural water intake.
Housing
29-gallon tank is minimum. Screen Lid required for air exchange. These reptiles need a temperature gradient so therefore you will need a basking spot and a cooler area. Also you will need somewhere where the reptile can hide, this will decrease the stress level. Climbing branches should also be available.
Number Per Enclosure
One male per enclosure.

well I have a Under Tank Heater I havent tryed it yet u think if I do should I put it on a timer

I would highly stress that it should not have sand as a substrate. There are numerous members here that could attest to the risks of impactation.
