Smaller Lizards Found:
All smaller lizards found possess teeth, but no fangs such as are found in some snakes. The size of the teeth varies with the size of the lizard. Among those smaller lizards found which make suitable pets, none possesses teeth large enough to cause much of a wound, though they may just break the skin when they bite.
The tail is an important structure with many smaller lizards found. Some of the larger species use it as a means of defense by dealing blows with it. With some the tail is the appendage which saves the life of the animal, as it may be detached from the body, thus providing escape. The tail does not become disjointed, as is usually thought.Housing: A great many smaller lizards found make interest¬ing pets which become very tame and soon learn to take food from one's fingers. Most smaller lizards found are easily maintained in the woodland or desert habitat of the terrarium. As a rule several kinds of smaller lizards found may be placed in the habitat together. However, some species are cannibalistic and must be housed alone.
