First off, all of the lizards I am about to list you will need to do at least a month's worth of research before getting. Make sure you will be able to afford all food, heating and lighting costs before getting one.

Bearded Dragon (my personal favorite)

Blue-Tongued Skink

Armadillo Lizards

Dwarf Sungazers (often sold and confused with the lizard listed above but entirely different)

Collard Lizard

Uromastyx (a few different species)

If you turn the cage on it's side so it's taller than it is long you could keep:

Crested Gecko

Chameleons (a few species)

Not lizards but will do well in an enclosure that size:

Russian Tortoise

Hermann's Tortoise

Greek Tortoise

Box Turtle

Ball Python

Tree Frog (different species)

Salamander (many different species)

it varies from state to state. For instance in my state all you have to have is a valid hunting license to keep native species, both venomous and non. But to keep exotics reptiles of any kind you do not need anything here in my state, MS. You will have to check with your local legislation not only for your state but also your town (some towns have their own laws along with state)

The small intestine is lined with a mucosal layer that features numerous finger-like projections called villi, which increase its surface area for nutrient absorption. The epithelial cells on these villi contain microvilli, further enhancing absorption. This lining also includes specialized cells that produce digestive enzymes and absorb nutrients, as well as goblet cells that secrete mucus to protect the intestinal wall. Overall, the lining of the small intestine plays a crucial role in digestion and nutrient absorption.

What do blue tailed skinks eat?

Skinks in the wild eat anything that walks or flies by as long as they can fit it into their mouths. Avoid caterpillars, spiders, wasps and bees. Somehow in the wild they avoid the poisonous ones, captive ones might eat them and get sick . I raised them on meal worms and crickets dusted with "Herptivite brand Multivitamins and Calcium" I'm sure others would work just as well, also would give them canned Monitor/ Tegu food as a treat, they'd really enjoy it. Feed them until they are full every 2 days or so. You will be able to see them looking around for more if they are getting really hungry.
