sorry for the late reply, rankins cost slightly more than beardies as they are less common,l they are about £65 to £70 in shops i would say less if bought privately. I believe jas from reptilebreeder.co.uk breeds rankins.

sungazers are medium sized diurnal lizards, the most common species availiable is Cordylus tropidosternum the dwarf sungazer or tropical girdled lizard. Most animals availiable in the UK are wild caught and prices are usually around £20 to 30 each. They grow to a max size of 18cm (including tail).
They requre a steppe vivarium, with plenty of spaces to hide, like roots, wood, flat stonesand caves. A substrate of soil and/or sand works well. Provide a shallow water dish for bathing and rinking. Recommended viv size for adult pair is 60 x 30 x 30 cm. Temperature 86 to 95 F using heater pads, and a basking spot of about 100 F. Humidity of 40 to 60%. UV light is required, lighting up to 14 hours per day. Diet of crickets, locusts etc. theyu are terrestrial but also fond of climbing

Collared lizards are also medium sized diurnal lizards, there are various subspecies availiable. But on average total lengh is about 35cm. males are brightly coloured and females are slightly duloler. They require a steppe vivarium with stable piles of stones and large roots as hiding places. Have a quite deep substarte of sand that enables digging. plastic plants and real plants can be used. Provide a small water dish for drinking. A minimum viv size of 3 ft is best for a pair, however bigger is better. Temperatures of 83 to 95 F with basking temps of over 100F. UV required. diret heat lamp onto flat rock to provide a nice warm surface on which to bask.
feed crickets, locusts etc. they are very active and enjoy basking
