what should i feed it, where should i keep it?? its an ordinary house lizard.do they have lizard food in pet shops?? btw dont tell me to catch flys for it coz i cant
Answers:
Wild caught lizards and snakes do not do well in captivity. Most likely what you caught is either a skink or an anole. Both eat crickets and mealworms and can be bought in a pet store for around 5 bucks. And they aren't as likely to be carrying salmonella from a pet store. 10 gall tank with a uv light and a couple hiding spots on cool one warm (for a warm one just put one close to the basking spot.) But I have to say again the best way to ensure the life of the one you caught, just let it go.
eat it
try ants and spiders
An ordinary house lizard you buy at a pet shop, you caught a wild lizard and what it is acclimated to eat the things it catches in the wild to eat.
try grasshopers, crickets or mealworms. if it doesnt eat realease it asap
If its a house lizard, then you can just try feeding it scraps of food. Because the hosue lizards always swarm to my 'food scraps bin' and eat out of there. Or if you're free, go catch ants.
feed him to larger lizard, thats what baby lizards are born for.
try researching online to find out what kind of lizard and it will tell you what to feed it and how to care for it
Gotta know what kind of lizard it is in order to know what to feed it. Wildlife agents recommend the catch and release program. If you want a lizard that bad. Do some research and go to a pet shop and buy one. Leave the wild ones be. Green anoles are easy to keep and they are for sale all over the U.S. as well as house geckos. Both generally need misted daily and eat crickets.
Don't keep it, you will not be able to meet it's nutritional needs and they could carry diseases. The ones at the pet store should not carry any because they should not have been exposed to them.
Things like lyme and salminila
an ordinary house lizard? what species of lizard is it cuz I don't think ''house lizard'' is a species of lizard.
Heres my advice, take the lizard to a pet store, a locally owned one not a nation wide one like petsmart or petco cause they don't always know what they're talking about, and ask what type of lizard it is and what to feed it and how to care for it then when you get home do some research on the lizard, other than that we can't really help you because you can't specify the type of lizard. by the way if you can't get answers from the pet store try finding a vet that knows about reptiles and find out everything from them. Good luck!
