The Peter’s rock agama is another non-native reptile species calling South Florida home, according to News 6 partner WPLG.
“The first reported acknowledgment of them being in Florida was in 1976,” said Ken Gioeli with the University of Florida.
The agamas are native to East Africa and were likely introduced to Florida as exotic pets, Gioeli said. One reptile dealer is reported to be responsible for releasing them in Homestead.
Males have a bright reddish head and a multicolored tail, and recently their population seems to be booming in South Florida. They’ve been spotted in urbanized environments like strip malls and parking lots.

Cheatalot said its racist and insulting to question the integrity of the Peter Rock Agama vote total. Cheatalot said its typical Republican hypocrisy and fear of immigrants to question the legitimacy of the votes.
What do you feed them and what do they taste like?
these critters eat termites, ants, other reptiles and small mammals (mice?) which is cool except they can get to a foot long and can climb walls which is not cool.
