Posted: 04 Apr 2006 Hello! Have just signed up so thought I'd say hi. Bit of info about me - completely mad about anything remotely herpetological (aren't we all?!) and keeper of a small tribe of herps. (snakes and a turtle). Looking forward to contributing to and learning from the Forum. So for now all the best, Mika.

Posted: 04 Apr 2006 Hi Steve, Al and Em. Steve, thanks for the welcome :) Yep, I should have joined RAUK ages ago. I guess the next step is getting involved with SARG! :) Al, halloooo! Aye, herps, morris dancing and train sets û however, you forgot to mention your propensity to morris dance whilst playing guitar, singing hey ho silver and balancing a Cadburys cream egg on your head all at the same time! :P (hehe, the secretÆs out now)! Hope you enjoy the epicà |

Posted: 04 Apr 2006 Hi Emza, I totally agree with Mika, you need a positive ID, and a pic posted up here would sort that in minutes, if possible. If it is a common lizard, they love spiders and grasshoppers/crickets. In my experience they won't eat ants or black beetles. Some will happily munch on woodlice, others won't touch them. As a rough guide to the size of food, aim for invertebrates which are shorter in body length than the length of the lizard's head, (although they will eat larger prey). Best place for a varied diet for the little chap is in the wild, but there's probably no harm in observing him for a few days. He needs a light source (but not at night), somewhere to hide, a safe water source and relatively high humidity (which can be tricky in a centrally heated house). It can be tough to keep him healthy, the natural habitat is an amazing balance of conditions, and that's probably where he's best suited, especially as he'll be looking for girls soon Steve Langham - Chairman
