What are some care tips for lizards?

Answer 1

The best tank to give them is a ten gallon glass one. The best substrate to use is sand, but bark\wood shavings would work too. Better yet, try to get some reptile carpet. Put at least one cave or hiding place. Some plants, fake or real would give it some comfort. A water bowl will let it survive. Add a heat lamp, and your pet is good to go, as for habitat. For diet, when it's small, feed it ants. it's all they eat. The larger ones will eat pretty much anything you can find in your backyard.

1. Step 1

   Get the proper home. Lizards should be kept in a glass aquarium with locking top, have lighting for warmth and sunlight simulation and a shallow water bowl that gets cleaned and filled daily.

2. Step 2

   Give him a suitable climate. Tropical lizards are going to need a very humid tank whereas desert lizards will need a drier environment. Get a hygrometer to measure the tank's humidity and control it by adding or removing moist plant life and other damp objects.

3. Step 3

   Choose décor that consists of a bottom filled with moss or/or wood chips, branches, moss, rocks and other things on which the lizard can bask or climb.

4. Step 4

   Figure out your lizard type to determine what he eats. Small lizards eat insectsand will thrive on a regular diet of crickets and meal worms a couple times each week. Some lizards will also eat fruit chunks and leafy veggies. Larger and certain types of lizards will eat baby mice and other small mammals.

5. Step 5

   Keep his house clean. Remove debris and lizard waste daily and scrub down his entire habitat, after removing everything, about twice a month.

you feed it

Yes, you feed it, but what do you feed it? Try insects.

Get a rock to sun itself on. Since it is cold blooded, it needs to get its warmth somewhere! Make sure it can also hide underneath.

If it is cold, then get a light that gives off heat.
