Well my son Josh would say a Crested Gecko thanks to Dan's photos (thanks again Dan).

But I'd have to say a Bearded dragon.

I would like a thorny lizard, these fasinate me, saw a program on them and they look so placid, calm and I recon they would make awesome pets. Can you get them captive bred?

i would LOVE one of them!!!
But i think its next to impossible to keep them in captivity, unless you have a very good supply of ants ... They can eat over 5,000 ants in one feeding :shock:

We looked at this with the american horned lizard, which looks very similar to the australian thorny devil. The horned lizard is available as wild caught, but almost impossible to keep alive in captivity with out a steady supply of harvester ants. We were unable to track down any sustainable supplys of harvester ants in this country

However some people have managed to keep horned lizards alive without ants in their diet, so if a pair of non ant reliant horned lizards could be found then maybe they could be bred ?

Looks like a relative of the Beardie to me, legs and body, ver reminiscent, short tail spikey head.
