cyclurus, the Oplurus species are terrestrial lizards, residing primarily in the drier treed steppes and open forested areas.
There isn't a great deal of information for the captive care of Chalarodon or Oplurus, or similar lizards such as the five-lined skinks (Eumeces spp.), Lacertas (Lacerta spp.), or keeled skinks and lava lizards (Tropidurus spp.).
Oplurus, and possibly Chalarodon, drink by immersing their mouth in water and using their tongue to lap it up.
