Last updated 8 May 2022: added article from RJH 16(1).
Most articles found in hobbyist-orientated publications on
this group of lizards tend to focus on teiids and in particular
tegus, followed to a much lesser degree by ameivas which are
sometimes kept. Gymnophthalmids, small lizards found often in leaf
litter, tend to be mentioned only in natural history or
herpetological expedition articles, and few are kept as pets.
