3,425 Questions
How do Komodo Dragons get their food?
The Komodo dragon has super toxic saliva and when it sees a relaxed bison on komodo island it runs at 20 miles an hour and bites. Then it runs away watching the bison slowly die. Once it is dead four or five dragons start eating.
There are lots of terrestrial salamanders that would qualify as cousins to the Axolotl.
How does a lizard communicate?
Crested geckos can make sounds ranging from chirps - clicks to grunts - croaks. These sounds are produced in the throat, the inhalation and exhaling of air. These sounds can mean anything from stress, curiosity, courtship and even exhaustion.
What happens to a lizard if an animal bites its tail off?
Snakes are very agile, intelligent, and coordinated animals. In most cases a snake would not bite itself, even on accident. However, if a snake were to bite itself, perhaps in the process of eating, it would have no adverse effect on the snake. Even if the snake was venomous it would not be hurt by its own bite, because venomous snakes are immune to their own venom. In extremely rare cases, some snakes have been known to ingest their tails, but there is not a known cause for this behavior and, as I said, it is extremely rare.
Where can you buy food for a lizard?
When i go to get food for my beardie i go to any pet store.. You even go to the grocery store for good fruits or veggies. I mostly go to petsmart or petco, sometimes they might be out of stock so i always have a plan B.

What type of vegetables do lizards eat?
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.
This depends on the species and size of the animal in question, and your personal pain tolerance. Traditionally reptiles by body weight have a very high bite force when closing their jaw, but weak muscles for opening the mouth. For example my bearded dragon while fairly large doesn't really hurt if it bites. It may draw a pinch of blood but nothing crazy. Meanwhile my far far smaller Tokay gecko can quite literally bite your finger clean off if it gets a joint. There are also some other factors involved in reptile bites. Several species (mostly tropical&desert) carry vast quantities of diseases in their saliva. So while the bite may only hurt briefly, the diseases caused by the bite can be life threatening.
How many chromosomes do komodo dragons have?
Just like a human, a bearded dragon has two ears. Located on the strip that runs from their eye about an inch behind are holes on the sides of their heads. Those are the ears
How does music effect a lizard's reaction?
Well lizards are def so they cant hear.
but like snakes they feel vibration same goes 4 lizards.
Another answer:
While snakes, which lack a tympanic membrane, have only the ability to detect low frequencies (below 1000 Hz), other reptiles, including most species of lizards, have better developed organs for hearing and can hear higher frequencies. Some species of geckos can hear sounds up to 10,000 Hz.
Music, like any extraneous sound, can mask other sounds, which could prevent the lizard from reacting to other things in its environment.
It is difficult to accurately measure the sensitivity of lizards to sounds, because their usual reaction to any sound is to remain motionless.
Can a turtle live with a lizard?
Turtles are a semi aquatic species, while the crested gecko is a semi arboreal species. It is best as a hobbyist to replicate the natural environment for reptile species. In the wild, it would be very unlikely that a turtle would co exist with a gecko, so in captivity it would be best to leave these two animals separate. Most geckos require an extremely humid or dry area to live, not necessarily wet and filled with water. There is also the possibilities that a gecko can drown in water deeper than a shallow drinking bowl.
How can you tell a lizard from a aligator lizard?
Alligatorlizards belong to the genus Elgaria and are related to the legless slowworm. They have a rough scutation and are dorsolaterally striped.
Can a komodo dragon kill a buffalo?
Yes. One bite from a Komodo dragon has enough power to kill a buffalo. Komodo dragons don't have venom, they have a lot of toxic bacteria in their saliva that can cause massive infection, anti-coagulation of blood and septicemia for the animal (or even a human) that has gotten bitten by this large reptile.
Yes, of course they do. The five lined Skink is just one.
What are predators of dragon fly?
the dragonflies predators are penises , birds, lizards,frogs and other insectivores.
How do you keep lizards from eating potted plants on patio?
