With their magnificent colors, patterns and elaborate displays, lizards of the genus Platysaurus are extraordinary members of the Cordylidae family. There are currently 15 species and 13 subspecies of these small to medium sized rock specialists recognized. Generally, the males have elaborate colored throats and a dorsal surface covered with granular scales with bright colors and patterns. Osteoderms are limited to the large scales on the head, legs and the tail. Platysaurus are a highly social species forming large colonies with multiple territorial males in charge. These lizards are the only oviparous members of the family Cordylidae. They nest communally in deep cracks, producing one to two elongated eggs multiple times a year. Platysaurus, also aptly named flat rock lizards, are found in specific habitats such as areas with large formations of exfoliated flakes of granite, gneiss, and sandstone rock ledges and walls.
Platysaurus imperator Broadley, 1962 or the Emperor flat lizard, is the largest of the genus Platysaurus. Their range is northeastern Zimbabwe the adjacent part of Mozambique. Its habitat is mesic savanna. These lizards will often live on top of boulders on hills and display bright vivid coloration. In this paper the author, Flagle, will be speaking more specifically on this species and her work with them in captivity.
