Own every animal of the family Agamidae.
These lizards live in Africa and Asia as well as Australasia. No species occurs in the Americas. Many bask in the sun on rocks or tree trunks. Some males take on bright colours during the breeding season. Many are active by day and hunt insects by sight.

Agamidae
Agama agama · Least concern
Common agamas live in small courts: one lead male, known as the cock, about half a dozen females and a few subordinate males. Only the cock may mate. A subordinate male gets his own group only by overthrowing the ruler or by founding a colony beyond every other cock's territory. The species has even spread to Florida, far from its native sub-Saharan Africa.

Agamidae
Calotes versicolor · Least concern
In the breeding season the male oriental garden lizard puts on a show: its head and shoulders turn orange to crimson and its throat goes black. That knack for changing colour earned it the name changeable lizard, and a bright red throat also gave it a less flattering one: bloodsucker.

Agamidae
Pogona vitticeps · Least concern
The central bearded dragon owes its nickname 'beardie' to the pouch under its chin, which it puffs up and darkens when threatened or courting. Its fearsome-looking spikes are actually soft to the touch. It grows to about 60 cm, more than half of it tail.
