Andy and Murray: Celebrity Tribute Lizards
Congratulations to the Bournemouth Oceanarium where they are delighted to have successfully bred in captivity 2 Spiny Tailed Lizards. It is their first success after setting up the breeding programme in 2003, when the lizards were rescued after being illegally imported.
The lizards hatched during Wimbledon week, leading the staff to name them Andy and Murray. Spiny tailed lizards have a unique orange pigmentation, so naturally the parents of Andy and Murray are affectionately known as Peter and Jordan!
