#2268004 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	New fence lizard!!!!!! I caught a fence lizard today! I might keep it! It looks like a female to me, she is about 6 inches nose to tail. How do you tell how old they are? I am thinking about naming her Roxy. Let me know if you have any other name suggestions! One question, she seems really fat so I was wondering if it might be gravid or pregnant? I made a lay box just incase. Here are some pictures of her and her cage: Her lay box is lightly misted eco-earth

#2268008 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: ThesaurusRex   In reference to Message Id: 2268005  New fence lizard!!!!!! Oh, I forgot to say that I don’t have any extra UVB lights on hand so I ordered one off of Amazon. If she is gravid should I catch a male fence lizard and breed her? Thanks!

#2268064 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268061  New fence lizard!!!!!! How do you tell if she is gravid? That would be so cool if she was! If she is can I use an incubator meant for chickens? We have one but it hasn’t been used yet. Thanks

#2268074 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268064  New fence lizard!!!!!! Oh, does her cage look okay? I am using paper towels as substrate. Thanks

#2268091 ThesaurusRex View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268074  New fence lizard!!!!!! Paper towels are for baby lizards :P Get some eco-earth and bake some rocks!

#2268095 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: ThesaurusRex   In reference to Message Id: 2268091  New fence lizard!!!!!! Can I use paper towels or tile or something easy to clean? And I could have a dig box for her to bury herself in? I would like something that I can turn crickets lose in and watch her eat and I like something nice and easy to clean. I like to put a few crickets in, watch her eat and take out the uneaten ones. I have some better hides but my other lizard is hogging them right now But I am trying to sell that one. Thanks

#2268123 ThesaurusRex View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268095  New fence lizard!!!!!! Digging usually isn’t the first thing that comes to mind for crickets, usually they just hide under something. And it’s easy to clean, just clean up where she went on the spot.

#2268164 Baja View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268140  New fence lizard!!!!!! Why would you sell your old lizard so you could keep a new one? I’m sure that keeping a fence lizard is fun and all, but I think he’d probably be happier in the wild. So why would you get rid of your old lizard, and stick a new one in a tiny little cage. I’m sure the other one was captive so just spoil him for now. If you want to keep that lizard just buy some more hides, or you can make them.

#2268188 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2268164  New fence lizard!!!!!! Well I am selling my other lizard for a few reasons, She eats like a pig, she buries herself if you ever come near it and I am only allowed to have two lizards. Yes she would probably be happier in the wild but.......... I guess I just really like fence lizards. They are like a dog to me Zipper (the one I had before) would sit on my shoulder all day! He went on vacations with us. Pretty much the only time he was in his cage was when we were eating or sleeping. He was my best friend. I let my lizards run around a lot outside and don’t you think it would be nice not having to worry about predators or getting food? I don’t know how much they like it, I just guess I really want to keep her.

#2268248 ThesaurusRex View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268188  New fence lizard!!!!!! I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with using paper towels instead, but eco-earth looks nicer and considering fence lizards are burrowing lizards it might alleviate a lot of stress. @Baja: Letting her other lizard run wild is not an option, as she’s kept him for so long that releasing would have bad repercussions. Also, make sure it’s legal to sell him!

#2268253 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: ThesaurusRex   In reference to Message Id: 2268248  New fence lizard!!!!!! To sell who? Kona (the lizard I am selling)? I bought her from a reptile expo. Thanks!

#2268450 Baja View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268253  New fence lizard!!!!!! Thesaurus Rex which one are you referring to? I thought she just caught her fence lizard, so I was trying to say just let the fence lizard go if she just caught it. As long as she doesn’t really hold him then she could just let it go. I’m sure the lizard is not quite tamed yet. @Lizardgirl4 Also I’m kind of confused why you would hold your lizard for that long wouldn’t that be stressful to him/her. Reptiles have only one emotion and that’s fear so keep that in mind.

#2268520 ThesaurusRex View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2268450  New fence lizard!!!!!! The one she bought from a reptile expo some time back. She is not selling the lizard she just caught. And Baja, I don’t think you have any place to say what emotions lizards have. But I do know for a fact that fear is NOT the only one they have. Fence lizard docility varies a lot and depends on the individual, but if it’s a calm, friendly fence lizard used to handling, you can really handle them for long periods of time as long as they get the UVB they need. In fact, handling for that long might make them even more used to you. ’All day’, though, might be a bit too much.

#2268531 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: ThesaurusRex   In reference to Message Id: 2268520  New fence lizard!!!!!! Well whenever I put him in his cage he would start glass dancing. So I would take him out and hold him. Please don’t be rude to Baja! I do think that reptiles can get stressed but Zipper was a people lizard. He never showed sings of stress. I mostly held him outside since it was summer when I had him. But now I do make sure not to hold mine all the time now. That might have been a little much, I just felt sorry for him when he started glass dancing. The problem is he would only eat out of somebody’s hand He was SPOILD!!!!!!!!!!!!

#2268607 Baja View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268531  New fence lizard!!!!!! I wasn’t trying to be rude. I was just letting her know that she was holding her lizard a little too much. He probably loved the warmth of your hand though.
06/02/12  09:25pm
#2268608 Baja View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2268607  New fence lizard!!!!!! Oh and TR you are right about the emotions thing. I know that if a female hatched with a hot incubation temperature that they would act a little more feisty than the other ones. But, if it were a female at a low incubation temperature than they would be more tolerant to handling. I don’t know that this is true for fence lizards, but it’s just an observation.

#2268612 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2268608  New fence lizard!!!!!! What? I didn’t think you were being rude. I have never heard the the thing about females, that is really cool! Mine is very feisty! She keeps hissing at me! Poor girl!

#2268703 ThesaurusRex View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2268701  New fence lizard!!!!!! Yeah, sorry about that. Hurting feelings was not my intention, knowledge was, and I don’t like it when people say things without proof :P

#2268713 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: ThesaurusRex   In reference to Message Id: 2268703  New fence lizard!!!!!! Sorry ThesaurusRex, I was rude to you. Oh, Baja, have you gotten a new fence lizard yet? If not are you planning to?
06/03/12  10:33pm
#2268780 Baja View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2268713  New fence lizard!!!!!! Yeah I didn’t know the reptile emotion thing for a fact, but I thought I heard it a few years back when the crocodile hunter was around. I don’t know if I’ll be getting another fence lizard because the only place I can find them here is in a state park. I was just lucky the first time because he was in my backyard. I bought a garter snake 2 weeks ago, but I think I might still get another lizard. I’ve narrowed it down to four choices a crested gecko, leopard gecko, fence lizard, or a collared lizard.

#2268800 ThesaurusRex View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2268780  New fence lizard!!!!!! Collareds are nice to have.
