What type of vegetables do lizards eat?
There are only a few species of herbivorous lizards in the world, mostly iguanas. There are more omnivorous lizards.
The vast majority of lizards are insectivorous or carnivorous.
Which vegetables are appropriate (if any) depends on the species of lizard.
In general, for those species that eat greens, AVOID the following:
Lettuces
Cabbage
Spinach
Broccoli
Kale
Generally recommended for most herbivorous and omnivorous lizards:
Collards
Dandelion greens
Mustard greens
Turnip tops
squash/pumpkin
carrot
green bean
edible flowers (nasturtium, etc)
In order to create an appropriate diet for a lizard, you must know the species of lizard, and get a good recent book on its care. Look up a variety of online care sheets as well for additional information, sticking to reputable sources such as breeders. NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM PET STORE PERSONNEL.
This depends on the species and size of the animal in question, and your personal pain tolerance. Traditionally reptiles by body weight have a very high bite force when closing their jaw, but weak muscles for opening the mouth. For example my bearded dragon while fairly large doesn't really hurt if it bites. It may draw a pinch of blood but nothing crazy. Meanwhile my far far smaller Tokay gecko can quite literally bite your finger clean off if it gets a joint. There are also some other factors involved in reptile bites. Several species (mostly tropical&desert) carry vast quantities of diseases in their saliva. So while the bite may only hurt briefly, the diseases caused by the bite can be life threatening.
How many chromosomes do komodo dragons have?
Just like a human, a bearded dragon has two ears. Located on the strip that runs from their eye about an inch behind are holes on the sides of their heads. Those are the ears
How does music effect a lizard's reaction?
Well lizards are def so they cant hear.
but like snakes they feel vibration same goes 4 lizards.
Another answer:
While snakes, which lack a tympanic membrane, have only the ability to detect low frequencies (below 1000 Hz), other reptiles, including most species of lizards, have better developed organs for hearing and can hear higher frequencies. Some species of geckos can hear sounds up to 10,000 Hz.
Music, like any extraneous sound, can mask other sounds, which could prevent the lizard from reacting to other things in its environment.
It is difficult to accurately measure the sensitivity of lizards to sounds, because their usual reaction to any sound is to remain motionless.
Can a turtle live with a lizard?
Turtles are a semi aquatic species, while the crested gecko is a semi arboreal species. It is best as a hobbyist to replicate the natural environment for reptile species. In the wild, it would be very unlikely that a turtle would co exist with a gecko, so in captivity it would be best to leave these two animals separate. Most geckos require an extremely humid or dry area to live, not necessarily wet and filled with water. There is also the possibilities that a gecko can drown in water deeper than a shallow drinking bowl.
How can you tell a lizard from a aligator lizard?
Alligatorlizards belong to the genus Elgaria and are related to the legless slowworm. They have a rough scutation and are dorsolaterally striped.
Can a komodo dragon kill a buffalo?
Yes. One bite from a Komodo dragon has enough power to kill a buffalo. Komodo dragons don't have venom, they have a lot of toxic bacteria in their saliva that can cause massive infection, anti-coagulation of blood and septicemia for the animal (or even a human) that has gotten bitten by this large reptile.
Yes, of course they do. The five lined Skink is just one.
What are predators of dragon fly?
the dragonflies predators are penises , birds, lizards,frogs and other insectivores.
How do you keep lizards from eating potted plants on patio?
set out traps or poison but don't do it that's mean you could put up a fence or some sort of barrier like boulders around the patio that they can't climb through or over
How do you get the Draco picture in wild kratts?
You go to the 3rd tree that you can climb on. You will see a branch sticking out on the right. Turn into a Draco an then glide. You will see a branch that you can fit on so land on it. Then you walk normally right.
What level of the rainforest does komodo dragon live in?
Komodo dragons don't live in the rainforest. Their prefered habitat is scrub and woodland.
The above is not strictly correct. The natural habitat of the Komodo dragon ranges from among the rocks in open, bushy lowlands, to dense forest and tropical rainforest areas found on the volcanic slopes of the islands where they live. They require plenty of trees for the protection of their young.
Adult komodo dragons cannot climb trees, so they are restricted to the "forest floor" level. Juvenile komodo dragons climb trees for protection (especially from the adult dragons), so they are most commonly found in the understory level.
As cold-blooded animals, lizards cannot produce their own body heat, so they need to obtain it from their environment. Rocks hold in heat much better than air, so lizards often lie on them to warm themselves.
What do you feed a baby lizard?
This question cannot be answered, because you did not specify a species of lizard. Lizards are a huge order of animals ranging from minute insectivores that can sit on a dime, to enormous carnivores that bring down deer and devour them in chunks. They include strict herbivores like the green iguana, and omnivores such as the blue-tongued skink, that eat insects, meat, worms, eggs, fruit, and vegetables. The popular pet crested gecko eats small insects and fruit in the wild, and is maintained on a powdered formula (crested gecko diet meal replacement powder) that is served mixed with water, in captivity. Leopard geckos are generally maintained in captivity on a diet of store-bought crickets and mealworms. Lizards that eat insects should be offered insects no larger than the space between their eyes, and supplements are necessary in captivity.
What baby lizards eat depends on the species of lizard.
If you have captured a lizard, baby or not, and are not already sure of what it eats, then the ethical thing for you to do would be to release it where you found it.
Cold places (polar regions, tall mountains) and the middle of the ocean.
How much does a Draco lizard weigh?
10 pounds (Newborn/hatchling) - 10,000 pounds. (At peak of growth) It really depends on the kind of dragon. Other things, such as diet and exersise also make a difference. A fat dragon is obviously heavier than a skinny one. Some are so small, they only get to about 50 pounds.
Do lizards eat date palm trees?
No they do not. They generally eat insects and invertebrate. Their most common source of food are crickets.
What are 3 ways the frilled neck lizard defends itself from danger?
Yes - it's a defence 'mechanism' - the only way to make it show the frills, is to harass it to the point where it feels threatened. However - this is also VERY stressful for the lizard, and should NEVER be done just to 'demonstrate' the action.
