Alligator lizards make great pets usually on the internet they cost fifty to two thousand dollars depending on different species, or the cheapest way to get them is from your backyard. They are very easy to care for and make fun pets.
FEEDING-
Feeding an Alligator lizard is easy, they can eat crickets mealworms and pinkie mice. The pinkie mice are high in fat so these should only be a treat for adult alligator lizards every couple weeks. You should feed your lizard every day if it is a baby around five crickets, for adults feed them every four days around ten crickets. You can feed them mealworms but mealworms have a hard exoskeleton on the outside of their body these should not be fed to them very often.
HOUSING-
Alligator lizards need ten gallons of space per lizard. A glass tank works well or a ten gallon Critter Keeper but with a Critter Keeper you cannot use a heating pad.
HEATING AND LIGHTING-
Alligator lizards need a light and a heating pad or they cannot digest their food properly. Half of the tank should have a heat pad or you could get a 100 watt light bulb, if you get both put them on the same side.
TANK STUFF-
The things in your tank should be substrate the best kind is Eco Earth. You should have hideouts for your lizards comfort and also a climbing spot. Mine is always climbing on his hideout.
