pet lizards 1. Container: To raise pet lizards, you need to prepare a suitable container for them first. Although stocking is also possible, generally speaking, they will choose to raise in tanks. The bigger the container, the better, and it can be prepared according to the size of the pet lizard. The bottom can be covered with a layer of sand, and then some stones can be placed to give the lizards a place to hide and perch. You can also grow some plants. A basin is also needed, and some lizards not only need to drink water, but also bathe regularly.

2. Feeding: Prepare enough food for pet lizards during the breeding process. The type of food can be determined according to the feeding habits of lizards. Most lizards eat meat. Insects can be prepared for them, such as cockroaches, mealworms and earthworms sold in the market. But some lizards don't eat meat, so vegetables can be prepared for them. Generally speaking, lizards can be fed once a day, but if the lizard is too small, it can be fed twice a day.

3. Temperature: Lizards are sensitive to temperature because they are poikilotherms, so it is an important task to keep the surrounding temperature suitable. If possible, it is necessary to adjust the temperature to above 20. In winter, lizards can also be prevented from hibernating by adjusting the temperature.

4. Light: Some lizards prefer to bask in the sun, because the light can make them feel warm, and their body temperature can also rise appropriately, which is conducive to improving their activity. Therefore, when breeding lizards, they can also be exposed to the sun every day.

5. Sanitary maintenance: There will be some debris in the environment where lizards live, and breeders need to clean them up in time, such as lizard excrement and excess food.
