    At present, most of the lizards that we know and can see are chameleons, iguanas, dragon lizards, grass lizards, skinks and other species. The lizards that can be bought and raised from the market mainly include long-tailed iguanas, lichens, northern grass lizards, and Dadu skinks.

    Pick a lizard that is physically and mentally healthy.

    When choosing a lizard, what are some aspects that you must pay attention to? 1. Mental state: eyes are bright, limbs are strong, physique is strong, and active eating; 2. Bright colors and clear lines? 3. The body is not disabled, the scales of the whole body are not damaged, the tail is not broken, and the tips of the limbs and claws are intact.

    In this way, the selected lizards can be raised with confidence.

    The habits of lizards.

    All lizards are ectothermic animals, and it is important to pay attention to the temperature difference not to be too large, and the temperature is better between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius, otherwise the lizard is very susceptible to death or illness. Lizard tails are easy to break, so don't pull them too hard.

    The long-tailed iguana is commonly known as a chameleon, a water dragon, and a horsehair snake. The color is gorgeous, the temperament is docile, the body length is more than 40 cm, and it can be kept in tanks or free-range. The length of the tank is required to exceed the length of the lizard, the bigger the better, the bottom of the tank is paved with sand or stone, put a piece of sunken wood or stone for it to perch, a water basin is placed in the tank, and the water is better to be dried, for it to drink water and bathe.

    Stocking can be done in the house or on the balcony, with a basin of water or a warm bath every two days. The food is mainly bread worms, which are fed once every 1 to 2 days, and can eat 6 worms at a time. If possible, you can catch some crickets and frogs to improve your diet, and occasionally feed some lettuce or apples to improve your physique.

    It can be trained to lie on its shoulders and go for a walk.

    The lizard and the northern grass lizard are medium in size, active in character, adaptable, and suitable for tank breeding. The arrangement and feeding are the same as those of long-tailed iguanas, but there is no need to bathe, and humidity should be maintained in the tank, and hot and sun exposure should be avoided. You can play with it in your hand, but be aware that the dragon lizard moves quickly and occasionally opens its mouth to bite when provoked, so don't try to scratch it or pull its tail.

    The skink is medium in size, with a long tail, smooth scales on the body surface, similar to a snake, strong vitality, and a burrowing dwelling in the soil. The conditions of the tank are simple, the bottom of the tank is covered with sand 5 to 10 cm thick, a drinking basin and a feeding basin are placed, and the food is mainly bread worms and other insects, and attention is paid to keeping the environment moist.

    The number of people who use lizards as pets is likely to increase. However, it must be noted that some lizards are nationally protected animals, such as monitor lizards and crocodile lizards, which are on the same level as giant pandas and are on the verge of extinction. Therefore, if we see a seller or reseller, we should refuse to buy it and report it immediately.

    Only in this way will these animals not disappear from the earth, and we will be able to see these unique and cute animals on a regular basis.

    You can't express your opinion until you know what kind of lizard you have.

    It is recommended that you go to the "Aquarium Animals and Reptiles" bar sticker in the post bar and ask your questions, there are many experienced players and experts who can answer your questions, if there is something imperfect, everyone will add, and the result should be more comprehensive and objective than "knowing".
