How Do You Tame A Pet Lizard?
With a little time, patience and preserverance anyone can tame most any lizard to be a good family pet. There is the occasional lizard that through his own experiences with humans or just plain his own individual temperament issues, can not be tamed by someone without extensive experience. Most however, do not fit into this category. Insure that your pet lizard is housed appropriately and that the habitat is of the correct temperature at the floor level where the animal lives. This is critical because if the temperature is too cold for the reptile he may appear tame, when in fact he actually is not. Also reptiles are Ectoderm’s which means that they regulate their body temperatures within the environment (they do not produce body heat) instead of like us who produce our own body heat. If the enclosure is keep too cool the reptile could develop a respiratory infection, if it is too warm he may succumb to the excess heat just like you or I would.
