on 6th Nov 2006I don't think she responded because you insulted the lizards...

on 6th Nov 2006Could she possibly have... a Gecko? I have had a Green Iguana and also a Bosc Monitor (Savannah) lizard. My son has had a Leopard Gecko, but I would not be brave enough to make the claim that I know everything about them! Reptiles need specialist care, even some Vets are not able to treat them, and you need to know of a Vet who has special knowledge of them. The Bosc Monitor I had died. I rescued him from someone who hadn't a clue how to look after him, so most of the damage had been done. He cost me a small fortune. I tried everything but to no avail, which is why no-one should buy a lizard on a whim.

on 7th Nov 2006I'm not as big on reptiles as I am on amphibians.

on 7th Nov 2006I think lizards are wonderful creatures. But you need to know how to care for them properly, and most people don't.
e4chin
on 8th Nov 2006That is quite unfortunate.
What do you feed your lizard? Crickets? Mealworms?Helen of Troy
on 8th Nov 2006I don't have any now, but the Bosc Monitor ate mice, eggs and a little occasional dog food. The Green Iguana ate crickets (brownies they call them), mealworms and special lizard pellets. The Gecko was my son's, and he fed him crickets and mealworms. Nice menu!

on 9th Nov 2006It is; Should be posted on the "what I had for tee" forum!

on 10th Nov 2006Look in the food forum. Anyone for crickets?
e4chin
on 13th Nov 2006I used to buy crickets for my Fire Bellied Toads, but they died.
Helen of Troy
on 14th Nov 2006The crickets or the toads?!
e4chin
on 25th Nov 2006The toads. The crickets did die, but that was because they were eaten. It was surprisingly fun to watch the toads hunt the crickets.
Helen of Troy
on 27th Nov 2006Get a lizard e4. You will truly love watching them catch the jumpy little devils! And CRUNCH!

on 29th Nov 2006I am thinking of trying to get one of those Giant African Snails. They seem like fun!
Helen of Troy
on 30th Nov 2006Giant African Snails are fun! Very peaceful little pets.
e4chin
on 9th Dec 2006Unfortunately, I don't think they would be as much fun to watch hunting as a gecko would be, but I bet they are peaceful!
Helen of Troy
on 9th Dec 2006You should see them when the lettuce is put in! You think snails are slow? They run and munch!
e4chin
on 10th Dec 2006That almost sounds intimidating! Another reason for me to get them!

Out of curiosity, what sort of lizard do you have and what does it eat? And most of all, is it friendly and what does it do?
I love watching my cats chase each other, and fish are relaxing to watch swim around, do lizards do anything entertaining? They always look impressive in pet shops but they seem to just sit around looking imperious.
