Lizards As Pets
Attractive little dinosaur replicas, lizards make popular pets due
to their small size and simple care requirements. They are available
in many striking color and pattern variations, in sizes from 12" up
to several feet including tail when fully-grown and live over 15
years. Babies may be nervous and excitable at first, but with
regular gentle handling will become tame and easy to manage.
Supervise children and teach them never to pick it up by lizard's
tail, which may break off.

Snakes As Pets
Snakes often need several days to become comfortable with strangers.
Always support the body and allow the head freedom to move about.
Your snake's skin will become tight as it grows and will
periodically shed to reveal new skin below. Bluish-white eyes and
dull skin indicate it will shed soon. Once the eyes have cleared,
help your snake finish shedding by soaking it in luke warm water.
