What other animals in a lizard cage?

Do not! I repeat: do not mix leopaard geckos with Any Other species of lizard! They will fight till death of one, the other, or even both! If only one dies, the other will undoubtably be seriously injured! Plus, different species of lizards need a different requirements, leopard geckos are desert types, so you should not pot a Chinese water dragon with it.
I have seen pet stores keep young panther geckos with young leopard geckos. but as they grow older they will fight and even kill eachother. If you want to put two or more geckos together you should only put females together (if you put a male with females it is very likely that they will lay eggs). NEVER put two males together.

What if your bearded dragon hasn't pooped in 9 weeks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Either it means you don't feed it enough, it buries it in secret, or it's constipated. Look for droppings in the sand with a liter scooper. If you find none, take it to the vet.

( Can't afford the vet, can't afford the pet. )

Keep in mind, monitor lizards are not for beginners and require alot of time and money to be sacraficed for them. I will not provide you a caresheet on monitors because you need to research that information on your own through reptile forums and reptile care sites. I will give you tips and guidelines though. If you are planning to get your first monitor start out with a dwarf species such as ackies, kimberly rock monitors, freckled monitors, or storr's monitors. These dwarf monitors are curious, active, and often tolerate handling. They are great first time monitors. However, they might be a little hard to find...visit a reptile expo or search reptile classifieds. You will eventually come across one of the monitors i mentioned earlier for sale. Timor and Similis monitors are also dwarf species but are very shy and skittish. They also require fairly large enclosures because they are arboreal. Don't buy them unless you want a monitor that you don't mind seeing too often and you are okay with not being able to handle them. If your dwarf monitor is thriving under your care and you're up for a new challenge look into Savannah, brown throat, peach throat, mangrove monitors. These monitors can grow over a meter long and require large enclosures. They will also end up costing a lot more than any dwarf monitor. These monitors will generally tolerate handling but you must still use precaution whenever you handle them. These monitors are equipped with razor sharp teeth, dangerous claws, and long whip-like tails. Once you have sucessfully taken care of these monitors for a long time you may want to move on to an even bigger challenge. Water monitors, nile monitors, croc monitors, black/white throat monitors can grow over 2 meters long. They will require a giganticc enclosure and you will need to devote a large amount of your money and time to them.

What type of vegetables do lizards eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are only a few species of herbivorous lizards in the world, mostly iguanas. There are more omnivorous lizards.

The vast majority of lizards are insectivorous or carnivorous.

Which vegetables are appropriate (if any) depends on the species of lizard.

In general, for those species that eat greens, AVOID the following:

Lettuces

Cabbage

Spinach

Broccoli

Kale

Generally recommended for most herbivorous and omnivorous lizards:

Collards

Dandelion greens

Mustard greens

Turnip tops

squash/pumpkin

carrot

green bean

edible flowers (nasturtium, etc)

In order to create an appropriate diet for a lizard, you must know the species of lizard, and get a good recent book on its care. Look up a variety of online care sheets as well for additional information, sticking to reputable sources such as breeders. NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM PET STORE PERSONNEL.

Banana's are tasty and nutritious, but from a calcium balance point of view, they aren't great. Plus it is a lot of sugar. They are quite high in phosphorus, which negates calcium, even if it is fed with it. Feed them in limited quantities.

Why do geckos drop there tail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is used as a defence mechanism, so if a predictor attacks a gecko it would usually drop its tail to distract the attacker. Not all geckos do this but lots do, when geckos grow back there tail it usually looks different then before and is usually more wide. So if holding a leopard gecko for example make sure that you make sure you don't hurt the tail as it may lose its tail.

What do northern fence lizards eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Northern fence lizards eat a variety of small insects.

In captivity, 1/4 inch sized crickets are a good staple. These should be supplemented with a calcium powder containing vitamin D3, and once per week, a vitamin supplement.

Remember to research any reptile (or other) pet's needs carefully, and set up an enclosure with stable controlled heat at the correct temperatures, before you bring a reptile home. Captive care of reptiles is simple, but special equipment is required to enable them to survive.

Wild-caught animals should be left to experienced keepers who intend to breed them in order to bring in new blood to captive breeding programs. They can be difficult to establish, have internal parasites that require vet treatment, and are harder to tame.
