Lizard Overview
Lizards come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, temperaments and food needs. This page will focus primarily on Pet Lizards, not on those in the wild. As most animal hobbyists know, always leave wild animals alone, to thrive in their natural environment.

Small Lizard - Leopard Gecko
An excellent "starter" lizard it the leopard gecko. Its small size enables its owner to maintain a small habitat. It is not as handleable as a bearded dragon - it'd a bit more flighty. The leopard gecko is more of a "look at" than a "handle" lizard, and has very pretty markings. Its skin is bumpy. Due to its small size, the habitat setup, ]]reptile food]], and other requirements are less than other lizards, so it's less expensive to maintain.

Medium Lizard - South American Tegu
The South American Tegu, a red tegu in this picture, grows to a good size. Not as small as the leopard gecko or bearded dragon, not as large as the monitor lizard.

Large Lizard - Water Monitor
A water monitor will eventually grow into a very big lizard. This particular lizard, Sam, measuring 6 feet from nose to tail, was featured on Lemony Snicket’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events.”
"We’re not sure who enjoyed working on Lemony Snicket’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events” more, the The Reptile Family or the reptiles themselves!"
