Lizard

This large lizard uses it's claws to move and to climb. The Komodo dragon (pictured below with baby) is one of the world’s largest lizards. An adult can reach the length of 10 feet and a weight of 250 pounds.

Many reptiles (alligators & lizards) carry their babies on their backs. Can you see both the mommy and baby Komodo dragon in this photo?

Veiled Chameleon

Watch a MPG movie of the Chameleon's eyes - Chameleon eat.

The Chameleon's feet are like pincers... this way they are able to grasp the tree's limbs for easy climbing. This lizard can rotate his eyes around at different angles... they can move one eye in one direction and the other eye in a different direction. Their tail curls... and their tongue is very long, up to twice as long as their body... they use it to catch their food. Sluuurrrrppp... gotcha! Their skin changes in response to temperature, light, and mood.

Our Geckos... Day Gecko (left) - Fan-Fingered Gecko (middle)
Fan-Fingered Gecko's Foot (right)

Most Geckos enjoyed being watched... but not handled. The Day Gecko likes more of a rain forest habitat... whereas the Fan-Fingered Gecko enjoys a dryer climate. Both like to slurp their tongue! Too Cute!!!
