🦎 HAPPY WORLD LIZARD DAY! 🦎

Today we’re celebrating some of the amazing lizards that make the reptile world so special!

From our beautiful blue-tongued crew to our cheeky bearded dragons, every lizard has its own unique personality and incredible adaptations. 🦎🌿

So today, take a moment to appreciate these incredible little dinosaurs!

Happy World Lizard Day from the Tails N Scales family!

🦎 Myth Buster Monday

MYTH: If a reptile is eating, it must be healthy.

FACT: Reptiles are masters at hiding illness. Appetite is only one indicator of health. Behaviour changes, shedding issues, weight loss and enclosure conditions are all important things to monitor.

🦎 Lizard Limelight – Ring-tailed Gecko

Scientific Name: Cyrtodactylus tuberculatus

A master of camouflage, the Ring-tailed Gecko blends seamlessly into rocky outcrops and tree bark. Its distinctive banded tail helps break up its outline, making it difficult for predators to spot in the wild.

These nocturnal geckos emerge after dark to hunt insects and other small prey, using their excellent climbing abilities to navigate rocky habitats with ease.

MYTH: Turtles only need water.
