The vivid red-and-blue coloring of the Mwanza Flat-headed Rock Agama is almost uncannily like that of Spiderman, and comic book fans have been flocking to exotic pet shops to snap them up.
Agamas make good pets as they become tame and docile if handled regularly. They can grow up to a foot long with a balanced diet of locusts, crickets, mealworms and waxworms.
Native to Kenya, the rock agama is unable to throw webs, but can change color – the brightly colored males will change brown at night or if frightened. They can also run on their hind legs can scale vertical walls like Spider-man.
