Lizards Reviews

Thanks to FourPaws tips this is an edited version of my review. In my opinion, if you are devoted enough to want a lizard, I think the easiest one to look after is the leopard gecko. Because you only have to clean the tank properly (with lizard friendly disinfectant) every 2-3 weeks, they do their business in one corner so ...  Read the complete review

This review is for a particular lizard - Painted Dragon (also known as painted agama). I have had my pet dragon (Draco) for nearly three years now. He was my first lizard and I can't tell you how easy he is to look after! Each day he needs a change of water in his bowl and fresh veg/fruit then he eats live food ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to buying a pet, you may look for something that is easy to look after, has a personality and is enjoyable to keep and playful. I would say that most lizards have these attributes and they make excellent pets. Not all of them cost a lot to look after, but some can be quite pricey when they eat insects and other live food or ...  Read the complete review

Leopard Gecko's were not something I had considered keeping until a year or so ago when my mum bought one home in a tank which now sits proudly in her sittingroom. However, I quickly warmed to them and their obvious charms. The Leopard Gecko is part of the lizard family Gekkonidae and their latin name is EUBLEPHARIS ...  Read the complete review

Think very, very carefully! This is my advise to anyone who is thinking of buying a lizard. I have been keeping reptiles for about 10yrs now and I love all my animals, but they are VERY time consuming not to mention costly! I started off with a little Berber Skink, he was relatively easy to keep and didn't prove to expensive, I ...  Read the complete review

When i see people writing about iguanas and how unsuitable they are as pets it really does infuriate me! I have got and Iguana who i have had for 2 years now, she wasnt fully grown when i got her and even then she was 4ft long. Now she is in excess of 6ft long and one of the friendliest animals i have ever kept, this is out of dogs, ...  Read the complete review

Lizards can make interesting pets, but one should do their homework before purchasing one of these fascinating reptiles. If you get an iguana or a chameleon don`t buy a hot rock, or under tank heater, as these are arborial lizards! If you don`t want to pay for lights, consider a night lizard, or geckos. You should study the ...  Read the complete review

Apart from keeping snakes, I have also kept Iguanas, they are about the easiest of the large lizards to keep as the adults are primarily vegetarian, and so can be fed on fruit and salad from the supermarket, a young one can be fed on dog/cat meat, chicken and small insects like locusts. The ones I had loved cheese for some reason. They ...  Read the complete review

Iguanas are beautiful, fascinating creatures, but being prone to stress and growing up to about six feet in length means they are not ideal for everyone. If however, you have the time and space for one, an iguana can make a very good pet. Although the original purchase of your pet, its home and heating can be very expensive, ...  Read the complete review
