Lizards

It has been said that KOMODO DRAGONS can eat up to 8 pounds(or more) of food a day and they will eat virtually any thing that moves. It also includes their own and carcasses. it has powerful jaws so that it can break whatever part of its food it bites instantly. the other name for the KOMODO DRAGON is ORA. Although there are other names for the KOMODO DRAGON, you can check out HONOLULUZOO.ORG for more names and facts.

good luck with whatever you are doing!!

:) :p :D

All I can tell you, is when I recently uncovered an alligator lizard hide (under a rock in my garden...) there were a LOT of empty snail shells around. When I see an AL today I move it into our heavily planted areas.

They eat a variety of small invertebrates, including slugs, snails, and worms. Will also eat small lizards and small mammals. Occasionally feed on bird eggs and young birds.

Yes, they all do eventually. Some desert animals are better adapted to survive long periods without water.

All lizards shed their skin once in a while and so does the komododragon.

A Komodo dragon is the largest of the lizards at almost 10 feet long and over 15 inches wide. This animal can weigh up to about 300 pounds.

There is an excellent Wikipedia article on the species - see the related link. Click on any of the pictures in the article to enlarge them. The one of the lizard in 'threat mode' (to the right of the screen) is particularly striking.

You need to check your state wildlife website to see what exotic pets are lawful and unlawful to own. If it doesn't specify on the website, contact them. It depends on what state you live in. I know you can own them in my state, MA.

Fire bellied toads eat crickets. They eat 2 or 3 every other day. They can also eat 1 mealworm two times a week instead of crickets. Once a month or less often sometimes, I feed my toads 1 wax worm each, then skip a feeding. They eat no crickets on wax worm day. On the feeding after the skipped one, theyonly eat 2 crickets each. The next feeding they continue to eat normally.

To ensure the crickets have full nutritional value they should be gut loaded (fed) on healthy vegetables, like carrots, squash, sweet potatoes and green leaves immediately before being fed to the frogs. Crickets that aren't gut loaded are not very nutritious. Once a week, feeder insects should also be dusted with a calcium and vitamin powder, to ensure the toads are getting sufficient calcium and vitamins.

Phoenix worms are another excellent food for frogs and toads because they are very rich in calcium. They are the maggots of the black soldier fly and can be bought online now.

Crested geckos(R. Cilatus) thrive in a habitat ranging from 50-80% humidity at all times. If a crested geckos enclosure is not providing enough humidity and moisture for the shedding process, in most cases a Crested Gecko will burrow into the most moist spot of the tank. This could be the soil from a planted tank, or even some damp paper towel cramped up in the back. Look over your humidity levels and be sure that they are reaching 75-80% daily for at least three or four hours. To do so, add a couple of extra greens in the set up, provide a tank with peat moss/ coco-husk mix as substrates (this tends to hold moisture for longer periods of time) or simply add a tupperwear container with a hole cut in the lid and filled with paper towels, be sure to mist it daily to keep moist.

I'll let you know sometime soon. I caught a gravid girl and let her drop her eggs, fattened her back up and released her. I was actually googling the incubation period myself. she laid 13 eggs on 6/2/12. Two of them appear infertile when candling them but they've not started molding or looking bad on the outside so I'm leaving them alone. I know most North American, egg laying colubrids (ratsnakes, king snakes, corns) take roughly 60 days at 78°-80°. That's by no means written in stone so please don't dissect and criticize the vague statements that I've made. I know eastern hognose (heterodon platirhinos) go through a MUCH shorter incubation period. their eggs are almost translucent and very thin shelled as apposed to the vast majority of oviviparous snakes around the area. well....... just wanted to say that I'd post my findings once mine start hatching. I've incubated sceloporus eggs a dozen times but never paid attention to timelines lol. later

Yep, they do, in fact its one of their distinguishing characteristics (as opposed to say, snakes).

Amphibians that have a simiiar body shape to lizards are called salamanders or newts. There is a visible difference between lizards and salamanders, though. Salamanders are moist and lack scales, while lizards are dry and have scales.

Maybe females could live without males, at least for Komodo dragons. These behemoths of the reptile world can produce babies without fertilization by a male, scientists recently discovered.

The right temperature to hatch ostrich eggs is about 120 degrees Celsius there the eggs will hatch because of the hormonal changes that occur within the body functions, you can also try natural sun light.

The scientific name of a lizard is Lacertilia.

Starts with an A and ends with a LLIGATOR.

I think the best way to put this is that their size depends on the size of the frog, but they are black or brown, smelly and contain indigestible insect parts, eg. moth wings, beetle shells, grasshopper legs. They look like little rocks but if you look at them closely you can tell that there frog droppings :)

Its obvious yellow spotted lizards aren't real.... let me guess, you watched the movie Holes, didn't you?

First of all, the toad (actually a lizard) is cold blooded, meaning it won't get as hot as fast in the desert where it lives. Its coloring is also perfectly suited to the color of the sand and brush of a desert, where its coloring would make it stand out in a forest. The animals it eats also live in the desert.

If your lizard is pregnant, it will probably have a larger stomach, because the eggs are developing inside. Also, she may be extensively digging because she is trying to make a burrow to lay her eggs, but this will only be if she has been pregnant for a while. If you would like to, GENTLY feel the underside of your lizard, if you feel large bulges toward her tail/lower abdomen, she is most likely pregnant.

I say the leopard gecko would be a the best choice for a pet lizard. Reasons: They're inexpensive, nocturnal (you won't miss out when your at school), and their food is inexpensive.

I have my own leopard gecko named Draco. I hope you take my advice!

Snakes do have teeth, but they are very small. The teeth of a snake are not made for chewing but for keeping a grip on prey. The fangs of venomous snakes are also modified teeth.

A female leopard gecko can store sperm for several weeks, or even an entire breeding season, providing she has mated once or twice successfully. So it is possible to have a female lay eggs three or four weeks after a mating that occurred before she was acquired as a pet.

Some hybrid geckos (although not leopards) can reproduce without males.
