? Lizards are a general term for a group of reptiles. Although there are great differences between species, some aspects are the same. For example, almost all lizards shed their skin. In fact, not only lizards, but also many other reptiles will molt, because the skin of these reptiles can not grow as big as their bodies, and the body of reptiles is constantly growing, which will cause contradictions, only through the way of molting to remove the old skin of inappropriate size and replace the new skin of appropriate size. Every once in
a while, lizards shed their skin, which represents that their bodies have grown up a little, and is a sign of their growth. In addition, molting itself can also remove some parasites from the body, which is of great significance to lizards. When lizards molt, some will eat the old skin directly, which contains more protein, which plays an important role in supplementing lizard nutrition.
above, lizards molt. In fact, lizards molt more than once in their lives. Generally speaking, lizards molt every two or three months. Especially when the lizard is still relatively young, the growth rate is faster, and the old skin will soon not adapt to the body of the lizard.
However, lizards sometimes have difficulty molting. There are many reasons for this. It may be due to the lizard itself, which is easily caused by insufficient nutrition. It may also be due to environmental problems, which may be caused by too low temperature or humidity. Lizards can not molt or not molt for a long time has a very negative impact on them, the size of the skin will lead to insufficient blood supply in a part of their body, and sometimes even directly disabled, the consequences are more serious. If the cultured lizards can not molt, it will also affect the ornamental effect.
