This
is a photo of my baby blue-tongued Lizard, Lizzy. She eats baby
food and grapes. She loves the warmth. She also like humans and her
favorite little bites cardboard box. She is really small and she has
just started shedding. She is my first blue-tongued lizard. When we
first got her this spring she was quite isolated and every time
we tried to pick her up she would hiss, but after we played with her for
a bit she became really friendly and now when she wants out she tries to
climb up her big tank. It is so cute. She loves to climb people and is
always trying to crawl under the couch where she is not allowed. Because
she is not an everyday pet I have to take her into these special reptile
meetings once every two months just to make sure she is okay. I always
want to be a good owner for her.
The color of her tongue is a dark velvety blue, though it doesn't show
well in her picture. She is a baby, she is about 60 or 70 days old. She
is an excellent climber. She has a special reptile heating mat because
she is cold-blooded. She loves to hide and be in the dark. I don't know
her gender really, yet - so if she turns out to be a he, Lizzy will need a
new name. She doesn't drink or eat much, which makes her a considerably
easy pet to look after. At the moment she has tiny claws that tickle
when she is on your skin. She also likes to hide in some shredded paper
so now if you want to see her you have to play a little game called find
the lizard! She also sometimes thinks she can walk on air which means
she climbs off some very tall objects. She doesn't like it when you
touch her tail, so if you do she runs away really fast. Over all she is a
great pet!
