Phrynocephalus versicolor

[edit]
  • ... that during rainfall, the variegated toadhead agama adopts a bottom-up, head-down stance in order to trickle water towards its mouth?

  • Article new enough and long enough, the reference [1] does not seem to fall into reliable sourcing though, it seems it may be a blog. --Kevmin § 05:03, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
It is not a blog but is published by "De Nederlandse Bond Aqua Terra" which is the umbrella organization for more than 90 associations. The source seems to be an article from its magazine "Het Aquarium". At the foot of the article are the sources that the author consulted. Much of my article is taken from this source, and if you disallow it there would be little left. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:50, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  • While not my general preference, hobbyist magazines are generally accepted as reliable, so the reference is accepted agf. The article is long enough and new enough, with no detected policy issues. The offline reference is taken agf. Looks good to go. --Kevmin § 16:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
