Lizards

LIZARDS

From rainforest canopy to arid rock, lizards use toes, scales, tails and colour to inhabit radically different worlds. This hall begins with keeper-friendly form and husbandry groups.

Collection groups are an orientation layer for comparing lifestyles and care, not a formal phylogenetic tree.

Included subgroups

02AgamidsOften visual, day-active hunters with a strong need for basking, UVB and open movement.01

03SkinksLow, robust bodies often adapted to burrowing and richly structured ground layers.01

04ChameleonsHighly arboreal and visually led, with exacting needs for airflow, hydration and vertical microclimates.01
