The yellow-spotted tropical night lizard (Lepidophyma flavimaculatum) is a night lizard ranging from central Mexico to Panama. It includes two subspecies, Lepidophyma flavimaculatum flavimaculatum and Lepidophyma flavimaculatum obscurum. Yellow-spotted tropical night lizards are among the largest of the night lizards, reaching a length of 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in).

  • The yellow-spotted tropical night lizard (Lepidophyma flavimaculatum) is a night lizard ranging from central Mexico to Panama. It includes two subspecies, Lepidophyma flavimaculatum flavimaculatum and Lepidophyma flavimaculatum obscurum. Yellow-spotted tropical night lizards are among the largest of the night lizards, reaching a length of 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in). They are nearly black in color, with a series of yellow spots running along their sides from the tips of their snouts to their rear flanks. The spots shift into thin and subtle yellow bands on their tails. There is also yellow coloring on their underbody. Their heads are smooth and snakelike in appearance, while their bodies are covered in rough skin. Like all night lizards, it is viviparous, giving live birth to its young. Yellow-spotted tropical night lizards also include all-female parthenogenetic (asexually reproducing) populations, located towards the southern end of their range in Central America. Yellow-spotted tropical night lizards live in decaying logs in wet climates. The average life span of the Yellow-spotted tropical night lizard is around 10-15 years in the wild. Uncommon in the exotic pet trade, yellow spotted night lizards are aggressive and supply a painful bite to anyone who may handle them. Offspring born by parthenogenisis are handleable if they are acclimated early in life. Young bark lizards can coexist with like-sized species who enjoy a similar warm and humid climate. Adult bark lizards can not be tamed by handling alone, and will damage their nostrum, or nose scale, if kept in a glass enclosure near a high traffic area or not provided with suitable daytime shelter. The most common issue with adults is shedding problems, particularly after they give birth, if humidity is not kept constant.
  • Die Krokodil-Nachtechse (Lepidophyma flavimaculatum) ist ein in Südost-Mexiko, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, und Fidschi lebender Vertreter der Nachtechsen. L. flavimaculatum ist lebendgebärend. Fast alle Exemplare sind Weibchen, welche sich ohne eine Paarung mit Männchen fortpflanzen können. Krokodil-Nachtechsen werden bis zu 15 cm lang (ohne Schwanz), als Nahrung dienen Insekten. Die Temperaturen der Herkunftsländer liegen am Tag bei 22-xx Grad Celsius, in der Nacht sinken sie auf 18-22 °C. Die Krokodil-Nachtechse ist vorwiegend in der Dämmerung und Nacht aktiv. Um sie künstlich in einem Terrarium zu halten, wird ein Tropenterrarium mit vielen Versteck- und Ausweichmöglichkeiten, sowie einer Badestelle benötigt.
  • La lagartija nocturna tropical de puntos amarillos (Lepidophyma flavimaculatum) es una lagartija nocturna que vive en la región que va desde el centro de México hasta Panamá. La misma tiene dos subespecies: la Lepidophyma flavimaculatum flavimaculatum y la Lepidophyma flavimaculatum obscurum.
  • Gullflekket nattøgle er en nattøgle i slekten Lepidophyma. Den er stor til å være nattøgle, med en kroppslengde på opptil 12,7 cm. Kroppen er mørk, nesten svart, og har gule flekker langs sidene. Dette er den mest kjente arten i denne slekten, og den finnes i det sørøstre Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica og Panama. Den lever i skog fra 120 til 940 m over havet, og er knyttet til råtne trestammer. Noen populasjoner av arten er partenogenetiske, mens andre har vanlig kjønnet formering.
