With the pet market suddenly heating up, many people have begun to raise alternative pets. Whether you're a simple lizard lover, a curiosity seeker or a blind follower. Before you raise a lizard, you need to understand the methods of purchasing a lizard and the key points of raising it.

When talking about lizards, many people think of them as ugly, scary, dinosaur-like animals. It turns out that this is not the case. Most lizards are gentle and cute, have beautiful faces, and are peaceful. They often stay in one place for several hours. That’s why it is favored by more and more people.

The lizards currently available in the mall include water dragons (long-maned lizards), skinks, tuatara, etc. The latter two are smaller in size and are more suitable for raising children. Water dragons are more suitable for adults to raise.

Water dragons have a green body (some are brown) and a long tail. The one I raised is about 66 centimeters long. The male water dragon's back (the burrs on the neck, without pricking the hands) is taller than the female water dragon. The nature of lizards is also stronger than that of female water dragons, and they resist love and people. Maybe this is called "cool"!

When using lizards, you should pay attention to the following points:

< p> 1. His eyes are clear and his crawling speed is fast.

2. A water dragon with a green body color, a straight back, a short body and a long tail should be used.

3. The scales are not damaged, the tail ends in a pointed round shape, and the claw tips are complete.

You should pay attention to the following points when raising lizards:

1. Food includes mealworms, small fish and lean meat.

2. It is best to drink cold water. How to feed water: A person sits on a chair, puts the lizard on his lap, and gently tilts the lizard's head into the water with his fingers (use a shallow bowl for the water container). If its gills crawl, it means it is drinking water. ; If the lizard raises its head and resists, it proves that it is not frightened, and there is no need to feed the water quickly.

3. It can be raised in a fish tank, with white sea sand on the bottom of the tank. When the weather is hot, a water basin can be placed for drinking and bathing to cool down; when the temperature is 10-20 degrees, it should be Put a piece of cloth in the tank and let it crawl on it. When sleeping at night, cover it with a piece of cloth to keep it warm. The cloth used should be of pure cotton quality.
