Care Of Lizard

Like snakes, a wide variety of lizard species adorn households across the country. Popular ones include geckos, chameleons, and, of course, iguanas. Iguanas belong to the Iguanidae family of reptiles. Out of this family, the most notable member to be kept as a pet is the green iguana. Fascinating creatures to observe, lizards are hardy and fairly easy to care for. This is assuming, of course, that an owner is well versed in the environmental and nutritional needs of these special reptiles.
Restraint
As a rule, handling of pet lizards should be kept to a minimum. Lizards are incredibly strong for their size and can be difficult to manage if they put up a fight. When restraining large lizards, grasp the neck area and control the forelegs all with one hand, and with the other hand, encircle the belly of the lizard to lift. Never pick up a lizard by its tail. If you do, you might find your self holding the tail as your reptile scurries off in the other direction.
