The Dexterous Lizards

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010


There are about 3,000 species and subspecies of lizards, and though they differ in many ways, they have one habit in common – all shed their skins. Adults molt once every month or so, during the months in which they are active, and unlike snakes, most do not shuffle off their epidermis in one piece, but in patches or even a scale at a time. The banded gecko below rips off its old skin with its mouth and swallows the strips. And to peel its feet, it yanks at each digit as though removing a tight glove.

The Komodo Monitors of Indonesia, the largest, heaviest lizards. grow to 10 feet and weigh up to 300 pounds. They occasionally catch small deer or pigs and can swallow them whole.

Caring for Your Iguana:Skin Care

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010


Iguanas, like all reptiles, periodically shed their skins as they grow. Snakes do this in one piece, but iguana skin flakes off in patches. Occasionally, skin does not come away properly, particularly on the toes, and any adhering pieces need to be removed. This is best done by spraying the affected area with lukewarm water. Your iguana will appreciate being sprayed with water, particularly when it is shedding its skin.
