Alligator Lizard

[goliathprime]

Back when Jurassic Park came out and Dr. Grant was insisting that TRexes can't see you if you don't move, I used to laugh because I had an alligator lizard at the time. Alligator lizards also can't see you if you don't move - so they just shake their heads sideways - and then they can see you just fine. IRL, Grant and Malcolm would have been Rex food.

[xYMxZzILLMATICSzZ]

Mine shakes his head like that when he is feeding to.

[DCskater5555]

how much r those?

[Daredemon]

@DCskater5555

Gotta find em sir.

[1337KIMAHRI]

yah mines brown with greyish brown stripes on it this one appears to be all grey with black stripes very nice lizard i wish mine had its tail. but i believe it was lost when my cat was trying to kill it but after all if it wasnt for my cat i would have been chaseing one around for hours hahaha.

[guyglowmore1]

crickets are good for them but not waxworms or roaches. they like flies, pinkies, moths, beetles, spiders, and the other things that live where they live. that's a healthy looking captive tho.

[reptiles1998]

where did u get or find that lizard?

[RedRain95]

the lizard was like "oh no he didnt".

[superkitten211]

dance walk dance walk om nomnom walk dance walk nom nom walk wiggle my tail nom dance scene

[Ebrech]

I feed mine some waxworms and mealworms...though my big girl don't seem to love them as much, one day she hate 7 waxworms and then never wanted to eat more again...>.<

[Ebrech]

I have 2 of those, one was only a juvenile when I got it and the second is an adult, I think they are both females and they love being with each others, they always sleep with each others too, they are not agressive but not tame eitheir...

[Tatooinedragracer]

Terrariums with living plants need different layers of potting soil, gravel, charcoal, and sand. Look into how to make a terrarium for plants. Your lizard will be happier and healthier.

[Tatooinedragracer]

Make your tank a terrarium with living plants that will give moisture and oxygen to the lizard and soil from the yard,(along with potting soil from a nursery), with microbes that will breakdown animal's waste. That white stuff, (and bark or other supposedly "natural" lizard bedding) just absorbs the waste material and harbors bacteria and mites. Also, the ammonia from the urine is bad for the lizard and humans to inhale.

[Tatooinedragracer]

If you're going to make a natural looking environment with branches, plants, fake rock water bowl and a mural, then you should also make the bottom of the tank natural as well, instead of having whatever that white stuff is on the bottom of the tank. The floor totally distracts from all the other natural and natural looking stuff in the tank. It's like having an aviary in a zoo with a white tile or concrete floor. It doesn't fit.

[Lightrundas12]

@lardajnin I just caught an alligator lizard today. I put together a home, but I was wondering if you'd give me tips.

[kimmijo]

found one in my house last night and now I have no idea where it went.

i want it outta here!

[Lightrundas12]

Her tail is longer than she is, her legs are tiny and thin, she is very plump. How can lizards run so fast with proportions like this?

[Killerspider762]

@Lightrundas12 Alligator lizards move like snkaes

[Killerspider762]

@Lightrundas12 Alligator Lizards move like snakes.

[The1john123]

is it aggresive?

[evansadventures678]

how often do they need to eat

[Thornydevilking]

what size tank do two adults need?

[JJreptilesTV]

his tail his super long

[superdaaaaa]

now this is lizard music

[pittielove]

cute!!

[RacistKramerFTW]

nice set up.. I would have more rocks and things for him to hide in/under he is pretty big tho looks like this one I caught outside my house last year

[crimsom757575]

if you wont to make a tank for these guy (this depends on were you live) just grave some stuff from your back yard

[mmmmmarcus]

This appears to be a northern alligator lizard. An interesting note is while southern alligator lizards lay eggs, northern alligator lizards give birth to live young.

[crimsom757575]

i am holding a northern alligator lizard right now

[shaheennobar]

@mmmmmarcus I have a southern and that is interesting

[yowhatup1231]

@mmmmmarcus i never new that northern alligator lizards layed eggs...btw, how do u tell the difference between a northern alligator lizard and a southern alligator lizard apart from their physical features?

[mmmmmarcus]

@yowhatup1231 Well, in the case that you end up with a black alligator lizard with no markings, the only way to know is either: #1)--- Where you found the lizard, and #2)--- Blood test. californiaherps,com/lizards/li­zardspics,html replace those commas with periods.

[BavarinMotorSportBMW]

wats the song

[TheSkaterShark]

you have it in a wrong kind of terrin

[wkkimmy]

Nice..ive always wanted a southern. But to see my northern alligator lizard, im pretty proud of it. I believe northerns are less common then southerns. Surprised me much when i found out there were canadian reptiles besides garter snakes.

The proud garter snake,northern alligator lizard, and the rubber boa of BC

[crimsom757575]

dude you i catch those all the time and you forgot the western skink and pygmy short horned lizard

[lilmisstasha22]

do they like water? as long as its nto over their head?

[bj616]

We have Alligator lizards here, but they aren't huge like that one. Usually approx. 8" inches in length. Coo vid!!

[owningyourfinances]

Nice. Very clever with the music, and the Southern's natural hunting practices. Genuinely enjoyed your vid.

[award1234567890]

[nelson1100]

Please,Leave them in the wild... I used to have a Boa,and wished He was FREE.I'm not a Tree hugger....
