My understanding is that Abronia turn blue in captivity when not exposed to enough natural sunlight. Despite living in cloud forests, in the wild these lizards get intense UV throughout the year due to high elevations in the mountains. Could be partially diet related as well. I would think gut-loading insects with fresh vegetables and fruits helps in maintaining vibrant coloration. As you mentioned in the video, you can only keep Abronia outdoors for a brief time in the "winter" of South Florida. I would think the ideal place to keep these in the US would be in coastal areas of Southern California. It rarely gets hot in summer, and in winter days are warm and nights somewhat cold but never freezing. You could keep them outdoors nearly year-round and naturally mimic the winter cooling period of their native habitat.

Excellent presentation guys! Very informative and interesting... You guys are obviously tight and it's nice to see you having success in doing something that you love together! Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. New sub here... God bless and take care...

Great video guys! I don't keep any abronias but, this video made me think of trying them. Thanks again!

Those colors are awesome. Such beautiful creatures.

Love the greens and blues! Beautiful!

Beautiful Abronias, I love the blue and emerald greens. And yes, you both are very handsome 😄 I'm not a fan of beards per se but, a little neatly trimmed scruff is perfect! 💞 Keep up the good work you two!

Them damn lizards look fucking amazing, I mean damn . I’m bout to get my first crested gecko

Looking great ! Keep up the hard work boys.

Yo they look amazing, I love abronia! Good luck producing some babies this year!

I feel abronia lizards are only expensive with upfront costs of them and equipment and are cheaper in the long run. Someone feel free to correct me with that understanding since I like to learn

Our Abronia Graminea just had 8 babies 3 weeks ago. Would love to see even more on the babies to adult stage. Thats for the info.

Post more often please and thank you!

PLEASE do more updates on these guys!

My Vasconcelosii bred straight away last year when I put them outside! Fingers crossed for you guys!

I will love to buy captive bred abronia from you guys!! Can't wait

Nice video guys. Do a update video on your tegus.

Awesome you guys!

Abronia turn blue due to a lack of exposure to natural light.

I have a question about the Abronia taeniata, are you currently selling them? Because I cannot find them on your website.

Thank you for trying to explain the mighty search for the Manny's facial hair. I so wish that I could have an abronia. I wouldn't put them outside in winter here though. No chance of that.

My crested has suddenly developed a situation where his front right toes look stuck together. It’s almost like his front foot can’t grip at all cause the toes are stuck back. This is the first time he’s ever looked like this. Is it stuck shed that is causing it? Does it just need more humidity? This is one I bought from you in Orlando in early December. Thanks.

It's not inside or outside really, it's the temperature drop. I've had min 6 years breed every year but it's when they've been kept at whatever temperature and it drops 10 to 15 degrees for 5 plus days str8.

The blue comes from a carotenoid deficiency. Gutload with Rapashy super pig and or them outside if your area temperatures allow

Manny looks a bit different in the face maybe gravid you might want to check.

Did you do anything with the humidity or just the temps?

Hi I need to buy alligator lizard pair ..do you know any online shopping site that I could buy from? But also do shipping to Malta. Thanks

Do each Abronia have their own colors or do they like turn blue as they get older from green

GRAMINEA turn blue because of lack of natural sunlight and UVB rays they need to be getting more of the rays

Hey, guys! Just stumbled across your site whilst looking for a Kenyan Samd Boa. Do you guys have any upcoming projects regarding them?

Nice

where can I buy a blue arbonia lizard

loss of color is probably due to low levels of carotenoids in their food. Kusko put up a video talking about this recently on his Triple B channel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9F4etOmmbO7d6c.html

If I’m putting mine outside and there are birds and my kittens is that ok???

Great vid! Any females graminea available ? looking to trade for an animation for your channel

Blue is a carotenoid deficiency. Gutload with Rapashy super pig
