I don't know anything about other spineys, but after a year of insisting there was definitely NO dewlap on my little Ally ... there he was one day, all postured up at a cat - and DEWLAPPING!! All 6" of him. To look at him - there is no sign of a dewlap. No one in my family believed me, as my initial shrieks when I was confronted by the sight ("a dewlap!!!")frightened the cat away, and the dewlap disappeared. Posturing remained, but no dewlap. I've seen it once since, so it obviously retracts totally under his chin. There is nothing at all hanging below the lower jaw line. No loose skin to be seen. Ally is a c. quinquecarinata. With the sweetest little face...and a dewlap!
