Some time ago, Xiaobian briefly introduced the requirements for applying for a breeding license, and many climbers asked in the background what the lizard on the cover of Xiaobian was, and today I will introduce it.

It's this little cutie

In recent years, China has continuously strengthened the crackdown on the trafficking of wild protected animals, coupled with the publicity and construction of the law in china in recent years, so that more people who like to raise climbing pets or are ready to start climbing pets have realized which animals can be raised and which cannot be raised.

Because of its unique appearance and is not included in the list of protections, the double-crested lizard has been loved by the majority of herding friends in recent years.

The double-crested lizard is also known as the Jesus lizard

Among them, the green double-crowned lizard is the first to enter people's sight, belonging to the helmet lizard subfamily double-crowned lizard genus, in addition to the green double-crowned lizard there are 3 other members of the crested lizard genus, but in the real sense, in addition to the green double-crowned lizard, the other three members have only one crown.

Although the brown-crowned lizard does not have the colorful color of the green double-crested lizard, if it is a landscaping, it is actually a different scenery.

It is also the favorite of the four crowned lizards, after all, it is the largest, and the body length (including tail) of adult males can reach 80-90 cm.

Basiliscus vittatus

If you look at the head alone, I believe many people will think that this is the same species as the brown-crowned lizard above.

The best way to distinguish between the pattern on the body and the caudal fin of the dorsal fin.

Males have lower dorsal fins and almost no caudal fins, while females have neither;

Adults are generally around 60 cm;

The male brown-crowned lizard has a large dorsal fin and is larger.

Simple rearing environment

In recent years, green double crown and brown crown are still relatively common in the market, and the mango-bellied crowned lizard is occasionally mixed in the brown crowned lizard, the most important thing is that the larvae of the two are too similar, and the western crowned lizard has not yet appeared in the market.

The living habits of the members of these four crested lizards are roughly the same, and it is necessary to ensure that the temperature is 28-33 ° C during the day, 24-28 ° C at night, and the humidity is 50-70%, which is an ideal range.

It is essential to place a large water basin in the feeding box, and the forest surface is recommended for the mat, one is to decompose the excrement, and the other is to maintain humidity.

Raising double-crested lizards in the form of landscape viewing is definitely a great artifact on the premise that there is plenty of space.

However, its destructive power should not be underestimated, after all, like the brown-crowned lizard green double-crowned lizard, the adult is about 80, you should be mentally prepared.

This beautiful scenery is paired with a green double-crowned lizard, and it is not beautiful.
