Lizards

Komodos can extract up to 80% of their water needs from the flesh of prey.

A flea requires a host that has hair in order to lay it's eggs on the host but a flea can feed off of a gecko yes. Be weary that flea's/mites/parasites are not present, as this can kill your gecko if the flea carrys any disease or bacteria.

they lick there eyes to clean them because they dont have eye lids like us (so they never shut there eyes) :)

eighteen to twenty two centimeters

They do not - and not many lizards can climb smooth surfaces. The pads on the lizards that can climb glass are covered in millions of tiny hairs/bristles and the ends of these have a tiny spot of liquid - like an oil. The phenomenon that is used to enable them to climb smooth surfaces is surface tension. The reason for the ability to climb smooth surfaces is that they are then able to exploit more habitat - like large shiny leaves.

A porcupine's entire body, with the exception of the belly and legs, is covered with sharp quills. The porcupine's quills, which are actually hardened, barbed hairs, are its primary source of protection. Porcupines cannot "throw" their quills as is popularly thought. They can, however, slap their quilled tail with lightning speed in the direction of an attacker. If a predator comes too close, it is likely to get a nose or mouth full of sharp quills that will work deeper and deeper into the flesh, causing a nasty infection and in extreme cases, possible death. A single porcupine may have upwards of 30,000 quills, more than 100 per square inch. Native Americans once used the quills as needles, and as ornaments on clothing. They were also used in the making of Native American warriors' breastplates. Porcupines are amazing climbers. They have been sighted over 60 feet up in the tops of trees, particularly cottonwoods, and these animals are extremely agile. Porcupines are herbivorous, feeding on bark and twigs, and prefer to eat softwoods, such as pine, elm and poplar. These rodents love salt and will seek it out. This craving leads them to eat such things as succulent plants, saddle leather, and the occasional shovel handle. In some areas, the porcupine's love for salt can get it into trouble. They will eat just about anything with a salty taste, including rose bushes, lily pads, garden produce and even car tires. Porcupines have been known to eat gardening equipment, wood siding on homes and yard furniture. Even when feeding only on trees, porcupines can cause problems. They can strip so much bark off the tree that it dies. There are some products that can discourage porcupines from literally eating you out of house and home. Most of these are liquid sprays that taste terrible to the porcupine. Another option for controlling problem porcupines is trapping and relocation. In northern climates, a natural predator of the porcupine, the fisher, is sometimes introduced into an area to control porcupine populations. Fishers are a type of weasel and are about the size of a large house cat. Other predators of the porcupine include the bobcat, and where found, the timber wolf, and wolverine. These animals are quick, and are able to flip the porcupine onto to its back in order to expose it's soft, unprotected belly. In Oklahoma, only the bobcat, and occasionally the coyote, are natural predators of the porcupine. Porcupines mate in the fall and give birth about 112 days later in the spring. They usually have only one offspring, called a porcupette, and twins are rare. The porcupine's quills are soft at birth and harden within their first hour of existence. They can eat solid food in about two weeks. Unlike their stoic parents, porcupettes are quite playful.

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.

Their bodies are made for it. At night, when its cold, they bury themselves in the warm sand. During the day, they sunbathe, until its time to eat. Since they're cold blooded, the heat doesn't bother them like it would mammals.

their claws rip their pray into smaller medium sized pieces

Lizards are a carrier of Salmonella, however with proper care it is very easy to avoid getting it from them. After handling or being around a lizard's habitat wash up to your elbows with any anti-bacterial soap and you can also use a hand sanitizer after as well. Never touch around your face or open wound without washing your hands and arms first.

A few interesting Salmonella facts:

1) You are more likely to get Salmonella from a bathroom than an animal

2) Salmonella is the technical term for 24hour flu

Leopard Gecko's really like mealworms. However, don't feed the gecko too many, as the meal worms are like candy to them. Too much candy, and what happens to you? You get sick. It's the same with leopard geckos and mealworms. I recommend giving it 2-3 a day.

Camouflage is the horned lizards most effective defense combined with remaining very still. Horned lizards color patterns closely match the soil where they live. If the horned lizard spots its predator before it is spotted, it's first defense is to lay flat on the ground. This helps them eliminate their shadow.

a back yard lizard egg looks white or it might have dirt on it but the lizard egg will be very small and mostly be fuond in a hole or shady spot by a tree so it will be safe love alexis12546. They lay their eggs in a mulchy area under decaying leaves or dirt.

Male and female reptiles do not have external genitalia to help owners determine the sex of a herp. Males and females do possess different reproductive organs, however. The male possesses two testicles, housed inside the body. The male also has a copulatory organ, either a single penis (turtles and tortoises, crocodilians) or a pair of hemipenes (lizards, snakes) that can often be seen as two bulges behind the cloaca at the base of the tail. The penis or hemipenis is not connected to the urinary tract, and is strictly an organ of reproduction. Lizards and snakes can be sexed by the use of a probe that is inserted into the cloaca, directed towards the tail, off of the midline. The probe will travel farther in the male than in the female.

Well, they may live for around about a week or so. But feeding them everyday will be great. They eat approximate 100 Harvester ants a day. But DO NOT FEED THEM SOMETHING TOO BIG!!! If they eat anything too large there digestive system can't take it, and they might die. Though, try to make sure there main food is Harvester ants. Or meal worms (they may not eat them) but maybe more for treats. Good Luck!!!

They like warm weather because they are cold blooded.

a toad has many stages of life ......

to the person who ask this question, i also have the same question as you

haha...:)

so kindly if anybody noe this ans. , pls ans. as quickly as u can cos i have a worksheet to hand up tommorrow

thnks.....

The Gila monster faces foxes,mountain lions,coyotes and birds of prey.

they might get a little bigger and they will start building a nest

It takes about 1 month for a gecko's tail to grow back to a reasonable length, but it will usually be shorter than the original tail.

This depends on the type of lizard it is, but there are some general rules that apply to many species.

Female lizards tend to be longer and slimmer than males, lighter in weight, and have a smaller head than the males. In some species, the male is more brightly coloured, in order to attract the female, and often certain markings such as coloured throats will become more pronounced in colour during breeding season.

When looking at the underside of the lizard, males have a small bulge between the end of the abdomen and the tail. Also, the appearance of the femoral pores is different. Femoral pores are small openings lining the bottom of a lizard's legs. In males, they are located near the bulge at te base of the tail, generally in a 'V' shape, and darker in colour than the surrounding scaly skin. Female femoral pores cannot be seen as easily.

A basilisk starts out as a chicken egg, but then is hatched by a toad rather than a chicken. They can live for hundreds of years, but I don't know if they can reporduce as they are born from chicken eggs. Eventually, they will die naturally or be killed by someone awesome like Harry Potter.

most lizards, such as the bearded, leopard geckos, and other popular pets, eat crickets, meal worms, super worms and wax worms. in the wild, most lizards eat nearly any insect that enters their environment.
