How to raise pet lizards?

Most lizards live in tropical areas, and the ambient temperature is above 38 degrees Celsius for at least 10 hour every day. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the temperature of the lizard environment at home and try to ensure that the temperature of the whole environment is above 35 degrees Celsius.

Ultraviolet rays in the sun are very important to lizards. Lizards can synthesize vitamin D3 in their skin by ultraviolet irradiation, and D3 promotes the absorption of calcium. If domestic lizards can't get enough light, it is also necessary to install ultraviolet lights in the environment where lizards live.

Lizards mainly eat small animals, but they also eat vegetables. If the domestic lizard is a small lizard, you can feed crickets, mice, insects, earthworms and other foods, and at the same time feed them with fresh vegetables and fruits to ensure the comprehensive nutrition and high quality of lizard food.

Extended data:

Lizards have a strong ability to change color, especially escaping ones. Because of their good ability to change color, they have won the reputation of "chameleon". Most tree lizards and dragon lizards in China also have the ability to change color. Among them, the tree lizard turns pale and its head and neck turn red in the dry place where the sun shines. When moved to a wet place, the red color gradually disappears and the color gradually darkens.

The color change of lizards is an unconscious physiological behavior change. It is related to the intensity of light, the change of temperature, the excitement of animals themselves and the health of individuals.

Lizards don't make sounds, geckos are an exception, and many species can make loud noises. Geckos can be heard several meters away. Gecko's cry is not a sign of courtship, but may be a signal of vigilance or possession of territory.
