Are jumping lizards part gecko?
A jumping lizard is not a species of gecko. Although there are many species of gecko that do jump, what makes a gecko different than any other lizard is that they have the ability to vocalize and drop their tails. vocalizing can include: finding a mate, when startled, marking their territory or even during male fights.
If a pug chewed a lizard would that be dangerous?
It depends on what kind of lizard. If it was a helia monster than your dog would already be dead. If it was a common anole or fence lizard then no. If in doubt as to type of lizard try to save it so you can take it with you dog to the vet to show them. The most dangerous creature out their right now for a dog to chew on is a cane toad or bufo. They are deadly to dogs, and look just like the common toad, but are MUCH bigger in size.
You found a lizard in the woods and want to know what type it is?
You should look in a book or look online for some pics... just type in 'lizards' and alot of pictures will come up..find one that looks like the lizard you caught.
Is their a lizard that you can light its tail on fire and still live?
I don't know. Lizards can live without tails, I believe they should....
How do you care for a lizard from your yard?
I would recommend not killing it. It doesn't do any harm. Instead it does a lot of good by eating a lot of bugs (ants, termites, cockroaches etc.) that can cause real problems. If you still want to get rid of it, I would suggest moving it. Get a cardboard box (with a lid, frogs jump) and put the frog in it (use rubber gloves if you don't want to touch it) and transport it a mile or so away and release it. Problem solved, and nobody had to die :-)
Do lizards descend directly from dinosaurs?
The prevailing opinion of evolutionary biologists is that lizards are not directly descended from dinosaurs but are related species which diverged from the dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago. However, dinosaurs do have direct living descendants, and those are the birds. Birds descend from dinosaurs.
How does a komoto dragon protect itself?
By poisoning predators through biting. Also by beating predators with their tales.
Are long tailed lizards easy to care for?
Yes. They are one of the best type of reptile for starters. Just make sure you have a 15 + gal terrarium. They are calm with good care and like to be handled. Some Long Tailed Lizards are fast and agile, So they won't want to be handled much. They are most active at day and restful at night. So do your homework and get one that fits your personality!
What do lizards eat and drink?
Lizards eat mealworms, crickets, some other insects, and leafy vegetables. They can drink water out of a dish, but in the wild they can drink from rivers and lakes.
Most lizards eat plants and drink water.
As plant material CONTAINS water, they APPEAR to drink very little actual water.
It depends which type of lizard. A lizard is any animal of the reptile class with overlapping scales.
the green iguana for example is an herbivore, but chameleons and geckos are carnivorous.
Where would you most likely find a lizard in a 2 story house that has a lot animals?
In a cupboard, or, in case you havent checked, the ceiling. If it is a heat-seeking lizard, one that needs some type of heat lamp in its enclosure, you should search warm areas. Another place you could check is under your bed. I found my bearded dragon there once. -- If you have cats and they got to it, sheck the middle of nowhere or in a bathtub. Cats play with their prey and try and keep it in an area they can easily attack from anywhere. If you dont, check sunny places or tile. Tile easily heats up and keeps heat much like a rock so the lizard might prefer it there. the main requirments a lizard looks for in a home are following: A sunny spot A shady spot A small and not very noticable area A place that is not often disturbed If possible, something that would fend off predators; examples in the wild: catcus, roses, bad smelling areas, bee hives. A plant were insects will be hiding and eating Lizards are very specific in where they want to live, and few areas meet their requirments. This list will narrow down you're search areas. i lost a lizard once, and he found a perfect area. We had a screen door in front of our living room. he used the couch as a hiding and shady spot, we had the screen door open constantly in front of our tile entrance so he had a sunning spot, we had carpet and many plants in the living room and the screen door wasnt exactly insect proof which provided him with food, and people wer constantly in there so the cats usually stayed put which acted as something to defend him. A place small with a lot of ways to escap
