little lizard and little kelly home alone
It’s alive but barely moving. The scenario you suggest is possible, that the escaped lizard was gravid and managed to reproduce and they survived, but is not “supposed” to happen with the kind of weather you experience in PA. Also, anoles don’t usually hang out together, as they defend territories from one another (and have no parental care), so it’s also a little curious that you saw them in a group. I found a little lizard on my back deck..it is in the low 40’s. Thanks again for your interest. Jarmo For a long time it was known as the oldest known agricultural community in the world, dating back to 7000 BC. Hi MJ … sorry to bug you again, but my two adorable little gecko hatchlings are still in the house from a few days ago. I saved two of the eggs and kept them in dirt in the garage for almost 2 months. I go in, get what I need and leave. I plan to release her tomorrow since the winter storm here in Savannah is over & temps are warmer…..However, I am SO scared that I’ve had her too long, or that she won’t find any place safe to hide out the rest of the winter (I haven’t seen any other anoles for ages). I’m not an expert on keeping Uromastyx though! They at least look exactly like the ones my daughter kept. Well, it IS free and I set it on a large leaf on the garden floor hoping it didn’t get too hurt from the sticky paper and me freeing it up. If you want to keep it as a pet, you’ll need to get small insects that are easy to eat (like wingless fruit flies; your local pet store can help), dust them with calcium/phoshorus powder (to promote good bone development), and provide a full spectrum light (that mimics sunlight). The third one I saw on the chicken wire. He has made no effort to get out. I’m not sure how long he can survive outdoors, but it sounds like you’re doing all you can to find him. Is there a way for me to know whether he needs help to finish shedding, or if he will be fine on his own now? He won’t move, and has his head cocked to one side, but I can move it, so I don’t think it’s broke. I live in western West Virginia. I don’t even have him in a cage, because he is not running away. But if you were to find a lizard in colder weather, it would probably be very easy to catch, because cold lizards move very slowly! Hi Cheryl, If the bucket is vertical, the lizards may be trapped inside it. Best, Michele. Her original plan was to raise it and then let it go. I was away for a while and now I see that both lizards are still in the bucket but can they possibly spend the winter in there? Our precious fur babies feel our Love we send them to the other side. They are such interesting creatures – and always look so inquisitive. I am in Canada. Or, if the eggs were moved or shaken, the embryo inside could have been injured. I’m not an expert on horned lizard biology, so I suggest you reach out to the herpetologists working with these lizards at the Fort Worth or San Antonio Zoos. I also feel bad that I was playing an old Ronette’s song a little loudly – ( “When I Saw You”) the first time I saw him – heading into the bedroom – on the 2nd day! Diana, Hi Diana, This sounds like a really great home for the lizard!

Hi Bernadette, It’s possible that they were curled up together for warmth, but that’s not a common behavior in our Texas skinks, to my knowledge. I found a baby lizard on my back deck ..thought he was frozen but realized he moved a bit…I set my desk lamp outside …he is laying under it…what do I need to do so he can find his way home & be safe? Hi Shelia, It sounds like you’re doing all you can for this little guy. I know this is dumb but I didn’t know what to do so I put a bit of healing ointment in his belly. the temperature dropped down to 50 degrees. Hi Christy, On another page of this site, we’ve provided directions for how to keep green anoles as pets. We gave it a feed of cooked chicken & banana & a small drink of water. I thought he was dead. I do hope this little guy made it through the cold snap! I just know he Thame into my house because it was warm but I don’t want him to die. (temperature wise)before lizard dies? At the time he was writing the book, Icke had little else to say about this particular reptilian other than stating that he is above the Windsors in the Brotherhood heirarchy. Is it possible that high temperature kills lizards? I take care of my dog the same way. Hi Peeler, Thanks for sharing this! I’ll heed your advice & leave him outdoors where he belongs unless we get freezing temps. We have very cold Winters here in Amarillo. I know the heat light, but do they also need another light for day and night. We don’t have any cats nearby (a few strays, but I don’t see them too often); my neighbor does have several small dogs, but I’m not at all sure they’re interested in small lizards – more so barking at anything that walks by. I don’t think I’d recommend taking him to a vet, as there’s usually nothing a vet can do for a small reptile like this. Best of luck. Once the weather heats up (moving into summer) we will look for nourishment from rocks (we like the higher ground).”. In spring and summer in Texas, we see lizards everywhere we look. Michele.

This morning one is on the wall of my front porch, I’m sure he’s looking for warmth and must be going into some level of stasis. Best of luck with these lizards! I think it is safe to release the lizard outside, because lizards usually know how to keep themselves warm enough to survive through cold weather. I apparently brought back a little hitchhiker.. a gecko or anole.. not sure type.. just caught him in my house (live in northern Alabama where we see them in summer)… any idea what I can do with him? For example, sometimes animals have adaptations to their local conditions, and they may be poorly matched for a new climate, or they may have parasites or infections that could spread to animals in the new area. I agree that the best thing to do is generally to leave wild animals in the wild, although I also know that pets can help inspire us to learn more about the natural world in important ways! Thanks for your wonderful blog and information on lizards! I’m not sure what else to suggest, since your care sounds top-notch! Thanks again for this great site, and for answering all our questions! Our dog loves to ‘hunt’ them which of course we monitor carefully so as she never actually catches one! I think the plan to put the potted plant on your porch once the weather is warm is a good one.

Only way a lizard can enter my home is through the door he stumbled in when I opened it . Good luck! If I buy sand, does it still need to be sterilized? In fact, I expect the lizards would be just fine at much cooler temperatures (since it does get cooler outside). He was originally in the kitchen, but ran behind some boxes when I tried to catch him with a net. Came back from Florida last week after moving a family member with my truck (colder than normal). I really don’t spend time in the shed. Once it’s had a chance to rest, I suspect it will be fine back at the woodpile! 15: HerMan (4.68) Rise and shine Petra Monahan. I would trust the lizard’s own instincts for survival. Once again thanks for the advice. But being concerned that the gecko might be harmed by having no access to sunlight, yesterday, i replaced the shoe box top with a see through plastic top that has a small air hole. As time has gone by, it appears more and more comfy. Hi we live in Sth Florida. To answer more specifically, I’d need to know more about the lizard you’re caring for. FROWN WITH THE KIDS. Please advise. So I put a drop of ice cream in his open mouth. So I pick up a piece of wood and my dog snatches something under the wood. The night the storm came in, we found a very cold, still lizard clinging to our iron fence. I know they lie dormant when it’s cold. Also, water: you said it has to drip down the side of a window. I found three dead Skinks in the corner inside my old storage building. Thanks! If a recipe calls for a tablespoon of dough and you want to use a cookie scoop, which one should you use? – Michele.

Thanks for your question! All this stuff is piled up on the side of the shed where I always saw the anoles. Once he did climb on my gate which is 6 feet high to bask. I played cricket sounds on You Tube at night to no avail. Texas spiny lizards can be decent pets if you give them plenty of food (live crickets or mealworms several times a week, dusted with calcium/phosphorus powder, and mist him with water daily), but since this species only occurs in this small part of the world in Texas, it would probably be best to release him when your family can bear to part with him! He just stood there – not moving with all the food in front of him. Lizards are generally adapted to the natural weather conditions where they live, and they can usually find refuges that allow them to get through the cold temperatures of winter (although extreme temperatures may be more than they can handle). Any further advice is appreciated! He never got near the pool again! And, since it’s a cool temp inside your home, his metabolism rate is probably fairly low and he doesn’t need a lot of food to subsist. We kept a small cap of water in the tank & we lightly sprayed the tank with water every few days.

I live In Naples Fl and when the weather started to get cool back in November 2017, all the curly tail lizards seemed to just disappear, this saddened me because I am really attached to one, he used to be out when i was around and at 1st he would run away, then i began to talk to him, i nammed him nubby because he lost his tail, and he started to hang with me and not run and hide, so then i started giving him freeze dried meal worms and crickets and he would come back every afternoon when i came home from work and wait for his treat. It was still breathing when I help it by putting its intestine’s back in plac (Ewww right) But I just need to know if lizards go into a deep sleep when really injured (Like broken leg (ec.t) injured). I don’t want them to die, I enjoy having them around. Can we keep it or will it die? I have an iguana and 5 anoles. I live in Florida & a smallish Gecko is trapped in my apt.

Tiny little thing. Hi Deedee! Minor injuries in wild lizards usually heal quickly, and I suspect if you can spray a little water on something so that the lizard can lick the droplets (most lizards won’t drink standing water), it’ll be just fine in a couple of days. Today we are in the mid 40s, but in two days we will have a sunny day with a high of 58 degrees.
