UnExCo Home Main Mail Page Message Board Lots 'o Lizards! mail17.html Lizards, eh? I was just wondering....we live in the country in SC and have little chameleon lizards absolutely crawling all over our home. We dont mind these cute little guys but today I went to turn on the hose and a lizard nearly a foot long jumped out of the bushes and ran into my vent for the crawl space. He didn't look like the cute little green chameleons. He was reddish brown. What should we do? Janet And my reply.... Hello, Janet: Hmmmmmm. That's a new one on me! I do know that the little ones are usually green, and as they get older they get darker. These little fellows don't really hurt anything, but I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want your crawl space filled up with them! I don't think there is a "chemical" answer, but you could block off your crawl space vent so they can't get in. Best thing to use would be hardware cloth. It looks like this: http://UnExCo.com/hwrcloth.jpg You can also get it in a quarter-inch configuration, if the above is too big. I would install it on the OUTSIDE so you can inspect it easily. Just cut it a bit larger than the vent and wedge it in. Do this in the daytime when (presumably) they will be out hunting! Good luck! Hope this helps!

CONTACT PAGE LIZARD CLASSIFICATION A natural classification system was devised by Carl Linnaeus in the late eighteenth century. This was a way of arranging plants and animals into groups based on differences and similarities between them. These groups start out as one big group, the phylum, and then are broken down into smaller groups all the way down to the individual animal, or species. The first groups the phylum is broken into are classes. Lizards belong in a large class of animals called Reptilia. The class is then broken into several orders and the lizards belong to the order called Squamata. Snakes and amphibians also belong to this order. The majority of lizards then fall into the suborder called Lacertilia. This is where we start with our table below. The suborders are broken into families. Most families are groups of varied lizards tied together by anatomical similarities. There are approximately 19 groups or families (a couple have sub-families under the family) containing several genera or genus. Each genus contains one or more species, the species being the individual animal. Many, though not all, of the more common species are listed in the right hand column of this table.

Contents: Introduction Part I - Purchasing a Veiled Chameleon from a Pet Store from a Reptile Show ... Literature Cited Introduction: The veiled chameleon ( Chamaeleo calyptratus ) is the most commonly bred and available species of its genus in herpetoculture. The popularity of the veiled chameleon is due to a number of factors: veiled chameleons are relatively hardy, large, beautiful, and prolific. It is not uncommon to encounter this species in pet shops, even pet shops that do not specialize in reptiles. Unfortunately, veiled chameleons are all too often purchased from reptile shows or pet shops without the correct information on their proper care and management in captivity. As a result, many newly purchased veiled chameleons do not live over one year of age. It is the responsibility of the seller to provide information on captive care, as it is also the responsibility of the purchaser to seek it before the animal is brought home. The captive care of veiled chameleons is somewhat involved (what reptile care isn't?), but well worth the effort. This article is intended as a guide to purchasing, caring for, and breeding veiled chameleons, but is by no means intended to be the only source of information required on this subject.

A1 Reptiles Jackson's Chameleon Care Sheet Chameleons are primarily an African and Madagascan group of arboreal insectivorous lizards. They are found at elevations of five-thousand to eight-thousand feet. Rainfall in these areas average over fifty inches per year. Most chameleons are egg layers but the Jackson chameleons give birth to live young. In 1972 this specie was accidentally introduced into the wild in Hawaii. They are now well established in the Hawaiian islands and large breeding populations now exist there. They are imported to the mainland by the thousands. Jackson chameleons live singly and individuals have their own territories. Jackson chameleons should be housed individually. The larger the enclosure the better. Screened enclosures are best, allowing for good ventilation. Small Ficus trees can be placed into the enclosure. The tip of the chameleons tongue is like a suction cup. The chameleon propels its tongue out and it attaches to an insect and the chameleon jerks the insect back into its mouth. The length of the Jackson chameleons tongue is about 1 1/2 times the length of its body. This specie is very easy to sex. The males having three rostral horns approximately 1 1/2 inches long. The females are lacking these horns. The babies may be sexed at about four months of age. At this time the horns begin to develop in the males.

CHS Home Page What you should know about pet chameleons Contributed by Allison Banks The Chameleon Information Network Originally published in the Cold Blooded News , Vol.27, No.3, March 2000. This is ONLY a fact sheet! Its purpose is to explain the bare minimum of what a pet chameleon will need to survive. Chameleons are interesting and specialized animals, so you must do some reading before taking one home as a new pet. Wild populations are threatened by over-collecting, so any animals we take for pets deserve respect and good care. Ask your pet store to hold one you think you want, read this free leaflet, and decide if a chameleon is right for you and your family. Please see the back cover of this leaflet for more information sources. Facts: If you want a friendly, social pet, this is not a good choice. Don't handle them much petting them is very stressful. Buying all the equipment for the cage will cost more than the chameleon! Most die from stress and improper care.

Its habitat is arboreal; green anoles live in trees, shrubs, vines and tall grasses. They can often be found on fences and walls. Green anoles are also known as chameleons because they can quickly change color from green (when they fight) to brown (during cool weather). Males have a reddish pink throat fan, which they often exhibit when challenging other anoles. Anoles will fight other anoles to guard their territory. Green anoles, which reach lengths of 5 to 8 inches, are abundant from southern Virginia to the Florida Keys and extend west to central Texas and the southern tip of Oklahoma. Anoles eat flies, beetles, moths and spiders. Back to top Eastern Fence Lizard Sceloporus undulatus Eastern fence lizards are common on the Savannah River Site. They frequent sunny locations and will live in rotting logs in open woodlands. Fence lizards vary in color from gray to brown. Males have a blue throat patch. Adults typically range in length from 4 to 8 inches. Eastern fence lizards and several subspecies can be found from Delaware to Florida and extend west to New Mexico and Arizona. They feed on insects, beetles, spiders, centipedes and snails.

ZooPax A Matter of Scale PART III: SCALES OF LIZARDS AND SNAKES I: ABOUT SCALES II: SCALES OF TURTLES AND CROCODILIANS Scales in Lizards: In some lizards, the scales are small, fairly uniform and arranged in highly organized patterns. In geckos, like the Standing's day gecko below, the scales are soft and delicate, and the skin may easily tear. In geckos, specialized scales on the foot are subdivided into rows of branched microscopic flaps that adhere very closely to smooth surfaces, enabling geckos to walk up glass. Monitors also have small regular scales, but much tougher than those found in geckos. Some scales in monitors are underlain by small dermal bones similar to those found in the scales of turtles and crocodiles. In the Dumeril's monitor below, you can see the scale arrangement typical of the monitor lizards. How does this scale pattern compare to that of the Komodo dragon ? Compare these monitors' scales to those of this Mexican beaded lizard , to which they are related. What similarities and differences do you see?

quick advanced Scroll down for the article Chameleon Go Figure - Colors of a Chameleon Chameleons are slow moving lizards that are well known for having the ability to change colors. Most people think chameleons change colors to match their environment but that's just something parents tell you cuz they don't know the truth. Why Chameleons Change Color There are lots of reasons chameleons change colors. They can't turn polka-dotted, bright orange or even plaid, to fit into their surroundings. Light, temperature, mood and health are all reasons these lizards change colors. Lights reflect off of them, changing their color. A chameleon will also make itself flat and dark so it can absorb more heat. During the mating process, when it feels threatened and when it's protecting its territory, a chameleon will also change colors. A sick chameleon will stay pale because they don't have the energy to change color. How Chameleons Chameleon Change Color Most chameleons change between green, brown and gray - their surroundings are usually the same colors. Each chameleon species has its own color range. They can't just turn any color. Chameleons can change their color because of a very complex cell system. Beneath it's transparent skin are several cell layers which contain pigments. We also have pigments which cause our skin to darken in the sun . By opening and closing cells called melanophores, chameleons change their skin color. The cells direct sun to specific pigments which reflects the light back in different colors.
