If you’re set on getting a pet lizard you need to decide what types of pet lizards are the best for your particular home environment.

Some of the types of lizards in the pet marketplace today are Bearded Dragons, Chameleons, Crested Geckos, Green Iguanas, Leopard Geckos, Green Anoles, Savannah Monitors, Water Dragons, Uromastyx Lizards, Blue Tongued Skinks, etc.

One of the best sources of information on the natural history, feeding, housing, healthcare and handling these different types of pet lizards is Pet University at www.petuniversity.com. They are an authority website that gets much of their knowledge from in house writers who are experts in the field of reptiles. One expert in the different types of pet lizards is Tom Mazorlig – Reptiles, Amphibians & Birds Editor of T.F.H. Publications, the main source of the content on the Pet University website. Tom has ten years of pet store experience with a specialty in reptiles and amphibians, holds a B.S. in Biology from Cornell University, and currently keeps 12 reptiles, amphibians and cats. I highly recommend this site to find in depth information necessary to deciding which of the types of pet lizards is right for you.

Another authority site on the different types of lizards is The Lizard Lounge at www.the-lizard-lounge.com.

They have a large quantity of lizard care pages; unique pictures of lizards, a large library filled with lizard care information, and lots of material on lizards in the wild. This is another site I highly recommend you look at before deciding which of the types of pet lizards you want to own.

Their website is a work in progress but they do have some information on the different types of lizards. They are somewhat like wikipedia in that they encourage requests of information from individuals who may have expert knowledge in a particular area.
