Eyelids well developed. Ear exposed. Limbs well developed, pentadactyl, bearing strong claws. Head blunt. The body is stocky and bulky, the tail thick and short. Osteoderms are present. The lower teeth are grooved and venom glands are located in the posterior section of the lower jaw. The scales are non-overlapping, looking like Indian beadwork. The two species are oviparous and are confined to Arizona and western coastal Mexico. These are the only venomous lizards.
The exact nature of the venom is not well known. It is apparently neurotoxic, causing paralysis, but a lethal dosage has not been universally agreed upon. Human fatalities have been few and were probably not attributable solely to the lizard, as the victims were usually well intoxicated by alcohol. In at least one death the nature of the victim, being juvenile, probably didn’t help.

Though limbless, lethargic and small-brained, the snake is one of the most perfectly efficient predators in the animal world. Elstic jaw points let it accommodate any prey of reasonable size. A slim body lets it prowl or lie in ambush inconspicuously. A slow metabolism enables it to wait weeks for the right meal. If food walks by that might put up a dangerous fight, a snake can usually afford to ignore it.
Once a snake does attack, its problem is to find an end where it can start swallowing. If its victim is slender, like the lizard opposite, the snake can simply throw its open mouth directly over the creature’s head. But if the victim is wriggly and fat, like the rat above, the snake has to immobilize it first, by wrapping coils around it boa-fashion, or – if the snake is poisonous – by giving it a quieting shot of venom.

The road then levels out onto a granite plateau with numerous exfoliations. There we stopped to have a look around and uncovered a number of reptiles. The first was a legless lizards, the excitable delma (Delma tincta) found beneath an exfoliation. Delmas are widely distributed over most of Australia, with this particular species inhabiting the tropical north. The marking on the delma’s hear are very similar to the markings on juvenile brown snakes (genus Psuedonaja), which this species is believed to mimic. Another habit of the excitable delma, from which its common name stems, is the lizard’s tendency to jump or flick itself into the air when distraught. This may also be a part of its mimicry, imitating the strike of a snake.
We discovered a massive major skink (Egernia frerei) under a rock that was barely longer than the animal itself. This was the largest specimen of this lizard that any of us could remember.

They range in size from 15 inches to as long as 2 1/2 feet (including tail) for the Egyptian Mastigure. With frequent human interaction these lizards will not struggle against handling. They almost never bite, but will try to inflict injury by whipping enemies with their powerful, spiked tails. In addition, mastigures practice tail autotomy as a defensive measure, so be careful not to intimidate them or handle them roughly lest you wind up with a less-than-perfect stub-tailed specimen.
More and more captive-born specimens are being offered; it’s always a good idea to purchase these rather than wild-caught specimens because their health tends to be much better.
Mastigures require a roomy cage, with a length at least three to four times the lizard’s length, a sandy substrate of 2 to 3 inches in depth (use white of color-fast sterile store-bought aquarium sand) and a number of rocks to add realism to the environment. Heat can be provided by keeping them in a warm spot in your house as well as by using a 100 watt heat bulb from above and an under-cage heating pad under a portion of the enclosure. Mastigures definitely like it hot and won’t eat or be active if temperatures drop too low which, in their case, is 85 degrees F or less. Temperatures up to 120 degrees F are easily tolerated by most species of this group since they come from some of the most torrid deserts in the world.
Natural, unfiltered sunlight is a plus, but if it’s not available, use a fluorescent tube capable of emitting UV-B light. If the sides of your enclosure are high enough, it is not necessary to cover or lid the top as these lizards are not great climbers or jumpers. This gives you the opportunity of opening a window during warm days and allowing the enclosure to be bathed in sunlight unfiltered by a glass or screen top.

The Xenosauridae, or knob scaled lizards, are a small family of four species, three found in Mexico south to Guatamala and one, the Crocodile Lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus), found in southern China. They get their common name from the fact that their dorsal (back) region scales are heavily armored with rows of knoblike projections. These lizards occur in moist, semi moist as well as dry scrubland environments.The Chinese Crocodile Lizard is semiaquatic, entering the water to feed on fish and other aquatic organisms. These lizards may grow up to 16 inches in length, including the tail, and are relatively heavy bodied. They have sharp, fang-like, cutting teeth and can inflict a painful wound when they bite. Local Chinese myths say the Crocodile Lizard is venomous, which it isn’t, though its tiny red eyes lend credence to the belief.
All members of this family give birth to live young. They are rarely offered as pets and are subject to international treaties that regulate their trade. Captive-bred and -reared Crocodile Lizards are available from time to time, but their prices remain high.

The chameleon can be maintained year-round in large outdoor enclosures or compounds, and they do best this way. Duplicating this environment in a cold climate house or apartment on the mainland U.S. can be done, but is definitely a challenge. Feeding can be a problem as well, as chameleons quickly tire of the same food and must constantly be offered new types of bugs to eat. If they tire of one particular type of food they’ve been known to stop eating and die. Moreover, they need to gobble up large numbers of insects every day. Larger chameleons eat small birds, rodents, other lizards and small snakes as well.
They need natural, unfiltered sunlight or special UV-B emitting bulbs. Insects fed as food need to be gut loaded or dusted with vitamin/mineral supplements. Watering chameleons is also a challenge.They will not drink from a water bowl, but prefer instead to get their water from rain drops passing in front of them or lapping up dew on leaves. Various drip systems have been devised and put into use to accommodate their drinking behavior, including modification of medical IV drip sets.
Chameleons need to be housed separately or be given plenty of space as they are highly territorial and will fight with any other chameleon, male or female, that gets in their space. Males and females can be placed together to mate and breed, but should be separated after courtship and mating is completed.
They also need plenty of branches on which to perch and a cage that is higher than it is wide, preferably well aerated on three or all sides. The most commonly kept tropical species require daytime temperatures up to 90 degrees F under a basking light. Cool and hot spots should be provided so the lizard can thermoregulate by going back and forth. Temperatures can drop to 7 degrees at night. Chameleons are active and feed during daytime hours. Chameleons, as well as any plant matter landscape their enclosures, should be misted by day – in the early morning and again at dusk, breeze seems to stimulate some chameleons.

Hobbyists have established elaborate warmed fan systems that cause a gentle breeze to waft through their enclosures. And if the above special needs aren’t enough, many wild-caught imports come loaded with parasites and need to be expertly and carefully diagnosed and treated by a knowledgeable veterinarian. Although some parasites are kept in check in the wild by the animal’s immune system, the stresses associated with captivity may suppress immune function and then such parasites can become a real problem.
In addition to the Hawaiian Yellow Crested Jackson’s Chameleon, hobbyists also have had some luck with the large Panther Chameleon (Chamaeleo pardalis), and either of these is recommended as a starter species for novice chameleon keepers. Regardless of which chameleon species you decide on, always opt for captive-born chameleons and buy them from a knowledgeable source that can provide continuing advice and counseling on problems that arise.

These lizard inhabit, extremely arid open sandy desert or rocky areas; they dig burrows up to 5 feet deep in order to escape harsh conditions at the surface. They obtain almost all their water from the food that they eat and reabsorb the liquid part of their urine to further conserve this precious resource. They also can be seen lapping dew or drinking rain drops that fall around their heads.
Some species are gorgeously colored in mosaics of green, red and yellow, whereas others are drab and sandy or brown colored. Among the least expensive and most commonly offered is the dark brown colored Egyptian Mastigure (Uromastyx aegypticus). More expensive and more rarely seen is the patterned and colorful Ornate Mastigure (Uromastyx ornatus). Its colors are so striking that it’s hard to believe it is real, live lizard and not an artist’s conception. Another very colorful species is Dabbs Mastigure (Uromastyx acanthinurus), which is dotted with bands of black spots on a yellow background blending to orange-red.
Mastigures are herbivores ( a few are omnivorous) and are not difficult to feed. They will consume a wide variety of store-bought vegetables, greens and fruits, which should be lightly rinsed to provide water and then dusted with a powdered vitamin/mineral supplement. In the wild, mastigures endure a diet of desert scrubs, leaves, seeds and flowers. In captivity you can feed them collard greens, kale, mustard and dandelion greens with or without flowers. Do not collect leafy matter or flowers from areas that may have been sprayed with pesticides or other agricultural chemicals.
They require a sandy or rocky habitat heated to 100 degrees to 110 degrees F during the day. Like other lizards they should be given a choice of cool (85 degrees F) and hot spots (95 degrees to 105 degrees F) in order to thermoregulate. They will try to bury themselves in the substrate, mimicking their burrowing behavior in the wild, but unless you provide great depth they will not be able to completely submerge themselves.

A variety of pre-built commercial enclosures, including aquarium tanks, Iguanariums, pre-built cages and other structures, can be used to house your lizard. The nature and size of the enclosure depends mainly on the nature and size of the lizard you have. Smaller lizards, ranging from a few inches to 2 feet in size, can be housed in pre-built all-glass aquariums of the appropriate size, fitted with screen covers and lighting fixtures. Some small burrowing lizards can be comfortably kept in sand-filled gallon jars with a minimum of other considerations. However, proper accommodation for most lizards involves more than four walls and a cover. The lizard keeper must also provide lighting, heating, substrate or flooring, plants, decorations and other cage furnishings, such as water bowls and hideboxes.

Lizards should be kept out of the bathroom, since toothbrushes and other personal hygiene articles could become contaminated. If you provide a perch near a window (be sure it is closed in winter and screened in summer), lizards such as iguanas will spend a good deal of their time basking and watching from such vantage points well off the ground. They may descend to defecate and to eat or lay eggs. Allowing your lizards free run of one or two rooms in your house also means giving them warm spots with human heating pads and basking lights or heating elements. Alternatively you need climate control, and you must keep the room warm enough for their needs. This is too warm enough for their needs. This is too warm for most people. Humans prefer temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s and feel uncomfortable at higher temperatures for prolonged periods. So unless you like is as hot as your lizards, this isn’t a workable alternative. Some lizard fanciers keep their animals in or near furnace rooms. If you do this, make sure the venting system is working properly, as any excess carbon monoxide from gas or oil burners can asphyxiate your lizard. Don’t use your lizard as the reptile equivalent of a miner’s canary. Have your heating system professionally serviced and checked regularly. Since the thermostat for a furnace is apt to be somewhere else in the house, such rooms frequently overheat or remain too cool, so you should check the temperatures over time if you decide on this option.
Finally, hazards must be removed. Large free roaming iguanas can shred and pull down curtains, knock over lamps and other household items and get tripped up in electrical wires. Whatever room you decide to let your large lizards roam in must be lizard-proofed.
- Although aquariums add beauty to your home, they may not be the best housing choice for your lizard. The glass of aquariums can block the beneficial rays of the sun and also intensify the heat. They can also be difficult to clean, especially if moisture accumulates in the substrate. This in turn may result in an unsanitary, and unpleasant living condition for your lizard. Never keep a true chameleon in an aquarium. When these lizards see their reflection in the aquarium glass , they think that they are seeing another chameleon, causing them great stress.
