Lizards

I do not think that there is just a yellow spotted lizard, but there is a yellow spotted tropical night lizard. The scientific name for that is Lepidophyma flavimaculatum.

The Gila monster is a shy and solitary lizard that spends most of its time hiding in burrows or under rocks. It is primarily active during the early morning and late afternoon, and will venture out in search of food such as small mammals, birds, eggs, and carrion. When threatened, the Gila monster may hiss, inflate its body, and bite, delivering venom through its grooved teeth.

No, Komodo dragons do not live in Kenya. They are native to Indonesia, specifically the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang. Kenya is known for its diverse wildlife, but Komodo dragons are not found there.

Armadillos are mammals, not lizards. Their 'armor' is only on their backs and sides. The lower parts of their bodies are covered with fur and more vulnerable to predators that are able to turn them onto their backs or sides during an attack. Their natural predators are carnivores such as wolves, coyotes, bears and wildcats, but more are killed by dogs, cars and human hunters.

Alternate answer:

Armadillo lizards are hunted by birds of prey, humans and other mammals and birds larger than themselves.

Lizards have been evolving for about 200 million years, but they weren't officially "discovered" as a distinct group until the 18th century when modern scientific classification began. The first documented mention of lizards dates back to ancient times with references in ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures.

yes it is because mast older Texans have had them for a pet and they have supprisingly good personallity. it is illigle to own one also. And they like highways becaus they retain enough heat for their pleasure but because their natural instinct is to freeze when they see movement or are afraid they squirt blood out of their eyes at the tire then they become a greasy spot an the road all over. also pesticides. if they do surrvive the pesticide themselves theer natural food black ants are dead so they either cant eat or try to eat fire ants and those team up on them and kill them. so its all our fault that horny toads are on the exticnt list.

Yes, yellow spotted lizards are venomous. They have venom glands in their jaw and produce venom that can cause severe pain or potentially be fatal to humans if bitten. It is important to avoid contact with these lizards in the wild.

the most common lizard in central Texas is the green anole

Lizards swallow food. They do not chew.

Komodo dragons (up to eight feet long) ambush their prey, tear off large chunks of flesh (deer and large pigs) and swallow it whole. Sometimes it takes them 15-20 minutes to swallow small mammals, up to the size of a goat, whole.

Green iguanas are primarily herbivores, consuming insects as a by-product.

Yes. Probably a few different varieties. Like Fence Lizards, 5-lined skinks, and broadhead skinks. I live about an hour east of you (Ashland) and saw a 5-lined skink this morning. This is a great website that has distribution maps you can check! http://faculty.maryvillecollege.edu/wbcash/GSMNPReptiles.htmhttp://www.answers.com/topic/five-lined-skink

The largest lizard in the world is the Komodo dragon. It lives on islands of Komodo, Rinca, Gili, Motang, and Gili Dasami that are located in central archipelago of Indonesia. They are known to ambush and kill larger prey and its bite is highly toxic (mainly from all the bacteria in its mouth). The largest are probably 300 pounds or more. They can swim between islands.

The basilisk lizard lives in the understory layer of the rainforest, which is situated beneath the canopy. This layer is characterized by limited sunlight and dense vegetation, providing the basilisk lizard with ample hiding spots and protection from predators.

House lizards have specialized toe pads with microscopic hairs that create a van der Waals force, allowing them to grip onto surfaces like ceilings and walls. This enables them to climb and walk on vertical and even inverted surfaces without slipping or falling. Their ability to adhere to surfaces is a result of evolutionary adaptations that help them navigate various habitats in search of food and shelter.

Lizards, like all animals, require oxygen for cellular respiration to produce energy. While being cold-blooded means they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature, they still need oxygen to fuel their metabolic processes. Oxygen is necessary for breaking down nutrients and generating energy for bodily functions, regardless of an animal's thermal regulation mechanisms.

thorny devils are not herbivores because they eat ants, which makes them carnivores. if you dont belive me click on google images and type in thorny devils eating an you might see on eating ants or other insects

Yes, owls are known to eat lizards. Lizards are a common part of their diet, especially for species that are adapted to hunting on the ground or in trees where lizards are abundant.

Answer: Feed it small insect and bug. Make sure the insects are smaller than the lizards head, also, the bug has to be alive or the lizard won't eat it. Things like baby cricket, flies, and probably big sugar ants are somthing a lizard might like. Give it a lot of water. A 3 gallon aquarum might do for a great habitat and sand sticks to climb up. You can also buy cricket dust to put on your crickets it is high in calcium which is what your lizards need and they will also eat mealworms.

clean the cage often lizards do stink i don't kinow to much about lizards but i advise you but a big book about lizards

Hello I have a backyard lizard and this is how to care for them: I feed mine crickets I bought from PetSmart, They are like 12 cents a piece ( or a cricket). I keep mine in a 10 gal. tank. Its the biggest I give them, because they are used to having a great big world and I still don't think 10 gal. is enough. for bedding i give mine a mix of repti-bark, calcium sand and sand from my back yard. If you want to have the lizard at the most happiest get like a 30 gal. tank. But when you get a lizard, remember, the best thing you can give them is: Let Them Go.

All lizards need these: Tank, Heating lamp, shade, rock under the lamp, area to hide, and of course, food. However, each lizard comes from a different biome. The main biomes are listed below in order from least maintainance to high maintainance below: Desert, Savannah, Brush, Scrub: Sand or low quality dirt. OPTIONAL AND SUGGESTED: heated rock, small dry or dead bushes or cacti, dry log propped against the side but not reaching the top, decorative or house rock. Boreal forest, temperate forest: Dirt, bushes or plants, leaves, rocks. OPTIONAL AND SUGGESTED: Small bowl of water,dry log propped against the side but not reaching the top, decorative of housing rock. Tropical Rainforest: High quality dirt, many, many plants, spray bottle, heated rock, housing stones, sticks and logs (rotting logs are very good), large water bowl-running water suggested. OPTIONAL AND SUGGESTED: rotting leaves.

Yes they have a backbone

Frilled lizards typically eat daily. They are carnivorous and feed on insects, small reptiles, and occasionally small mammals. Their diet can consist of crickets, cockroaches, small lizards, and mice.

Yes, lizards do have blood and can bleed if they are injured. They have a circulatory system similar to other vertebrates that carries oxygen and nutrients throughout their bodies.

You can see a picture of a lizard, but there are so many types that you can see. There are three types listed below whose links are provided: the common lizard, the horned lizard, and the thrilled lizard.
