Does the animal the lizard posses any spiritual powers?
maybe it has some powers but i do not know if they are spiritual .I have read an article that says that every animal has some special abilities for example a fox can see what is going on behind it's back with out having to turn around it's vision changes and it can see what happens behind it or flies have the ability to manipulate time(only for a short time of course and they are too small so their ability is also too weak to be noticed) so maybe lizards have some abilities as well

Can turtles and lizards live in the same tank?
It is generally not recommended to house turtles and lizards together in the same tank. Turtles require different environmental conditions, such as water for swimming and a basking area, while lizards need dry land and specific heating and lighting requirements. Additionally, there could be potential conflicts over food and territory between the two species.
Is the yellow spotted lizard the same as the one in the book 'holes'?
But it's real scientific name is "Yellow spotted night lizard".
It's habit might be a bit different with the one in 'Holes'.
The lizard you see in the movie Holes is just a digitally altered version of a bearded dragon and they are no where near alike
Is the geico lizard's accent Australian or English?
It's definitely not Australian, it's English. There are lots of types of English accents, so it may not sound like the "typical" English accent you've heard before. Specifically, the lizard sounds Cockney because he does that rhyming slang thing. You can google this cockney rhyming slang for a translator if you've never heard it.
What do lizards in Missouri eat?
Lizards in Missouri primarily eat insects such as crickets, beetles, ants, and grasshoppers. Some larger species may also consume small mammals, birds, or other lizards. It's important for pet owners to provide a varied diet that mimics their natural food sources.

R-selected. They produce many offspring, are weak competitors in crowded niches, and are usually of small body size. There are several species of lizard (such as the komodo dragon) that could qualify as k-strategists within their environment.
What do baby backyard lizards eat?
Baby backyard lizards typically eat small insects like crickets, ants, flies, and small spiders. It's important to provide them with a varied diet for optimal health and growth. Consider offering commercial lizard food and supplementing with live insects.
What does a northern alligator lizard baby look like?
A northern alligator lizard baby typically has a brown or gray coloration with light stripes or spots running along its body. They are smaller in size compared to adult alligator lizards and may have more vibrant colors to help with camouflage.
Lot Lizard: n. (lott-liz-zurd): trashy, street-level, female prostitutes who frequent some truck-stop parking lots and rest areas at night. Most lot lizards openly "advertise" using CB radios; others boldly walk from truck to truck randomly knocking on doors. Same as: commercial company; lizard; pavement princess; sleeper leaper.

The male lizard might bite the female lizard, you'll probably think he's getting her out of his property. Well, the answer is no, he is actually showing a sign that he loves her. They might have sex after that and after maybe some babies who knows? (My lizard had eggs but they died.)

What is the difference between a home and garden lizard?
Well, honey, the main difference between a home lizard and a garden lizard is their preferred hangout spot. Home lizards, like geckos, prefer to cozy up inside your house, while garden lizards, like anoles, are more into outdoor living. So, if you see a lizard chilling on your window sill, it's probably a home lizard; if it's sunbathing in your garden, it's likely a garden lizard.
Why wont your blue bellied lizard move?
it will not move because it is one of the species that does not move many years ago i bred blue belly, or western fence crawler, lizards. Sometimes it is because they are trying to act dead, in which case, leave it alone. other times, they are trying to tell you leave them alone. again, leave it alone, or it will be prone to bite.
Is a Gila monster cold or warm blooded?

What is this bright red-headed lizard found in Southeast Missouri?
I had one of those red headed lizards in my house, I live in Tenn. My Cat brought it in and left it. After some research I found it was either an adult male broadhead Skink or an adult male five lined skink. Apparently they taste pretty bad so that was why my cat didn't kill it.
How do you say 'red lizard' in other languages?
Red Lizard in Spanish- rojo lagarto. (rojo = red, lagarto = lizard)
Red Lizard in Latvian - sarkana ķirzaka (sarkana = red, ķirzaka = lizard)
Red Lizard in Russian - красная ящерица (красная = red, ящерица = lizard) red lizard in Tagalog( Philippine national language)- pulang butiki( pulang=red in color, butiki=lizard)
How can you tell if a blue tongued lizard is pregnant?
Weight gain is usually the best way to tell. Once the female has been bred, check her weight weekly and you should see a steady gain. Toward the end of term, she may "show" by looking wider than normal. One way for sure is to have the skink x-rayed at the vet. When you have determined she is pregnant, monitor her closely towards the end of her term. Supervised birthing is advised for these skinks. Move the babies to another enclosure after they have consumed their birth-sac. the bellies go pink
How do you tell if a lizard is pregnant?
With certain types of lizards like bearded dragons if you gently run your fingers over the belly you can usually feel the eggs
next answer from different answering : you can even tell because they will probably not eat anything or bite you when you pick it up and you will even just get a feeling that ,the lizard is pregnant.
If your water dragon lizard's toes start falling off what is happening and what should you do?
You should go to the emergency vet ASAP!
I read this answer on another forum:
Because I don't know what kind of habitat you are keeping the water dragon lizards in, my first concern would be that the lizards are not in an environment with enough humidity. Do you have a large area for them to swim in regularly? Often, if the humidity is too low, there may be difficulty in shedding (called dysecdysis) and little tags of skin that remain, if encircling a toe, may cause a constriction, restricting the blood flow to a lizard's toe. This results in the lizard's toe drying up and falling off. One way to check to see if the blood supply has been compromised is by clipping the lizard's toenail to see if it bleeds.
Another cause of a toe drying up and falling off is if carpet or hair fibers wrap around the toe, causing the blood supply to become compromised. Certain fungi can produce toxins that cause constriction of blood vessels, especially to the extremities, and this can also result in the loss of digits. Trauma can also cause problems such as these. Pulling her off of a wire may also damage nails and digits. Infections, tumors, other types of trauma, metabolic diseases and parasitic diseases can also result in damaged toes. There can be many causes for what you are describing, so all I can do is give you the information about them. But it is up to you to take her in to see a herp vet to ascertain the cause in her case.
So that your female lizard doesn't lose all of her toes, I would suggest that you take her in to see a herp veterinarian when she has a toe that is beginning to look abnormal. Blood work, cultures, cytology and radiographs (X-rays) may be necessary to determine the cause of the problem. Please take her in the next time you notice an abnormal toe, and perhaps you and your vet will be able to save her remaining toes and claws.
I have had good luck with a product called "Demon". I get it from a local farm supply store, but some Ace Hardware stores carry it. I use it about twice a year and it provides excellent protection.
The Gila monster's reproduction cycle is synchronized with the breeding seasons of Gambel's quails and cottontail rabbits. This adaptation allows Gila monsters to maximize their chances of finding suitable prey to feed growing young. The timing of their reproductive cycle helps ensure a steady food supply for their offspring.
How does a long flicking tongue of a lizard help in their adaptation?
Its almost like smelling, but they taste the air for signs of danger, prey, and even mates. Think of how a dog uses its sense of smell to survive and transplant that into a lizards tongue and you have an. Idea of how they use it
