When it comes to reptile pets, lizards are at the top of the list! There are more than 4,000 known species of lizards in the world, the largest among reptiles. This "Australian monster", which is known as the "magic lizard", is not small.
In fact, the gecko and chameleon we are familiar with are all kinds of lizards, but this "magic lizard" is very different from them in appearance. It is also called the " spiny lizard " , which belongs to the desert lizard class endemic to Australia. Because of its scary appearance due to its piercing scales, it is known as the "Devil Lizard". The body length is about 21 cm, and its most recognizable is the 2 particularly large spines on the head.
The "Devil Lizard" looks weird, but it is a completely harmless animal!
The result is that everyone understands!
The "magic lizard" has become the target of many reptile enthusiasts.
However, an Australian magic lizard is very expensive, about 5 to 6 figures. And it is extremely difficult to raise a "magic lizard", because it only eats ants.
In addition, due to the extreme lack of water in the desert, the way the "devil lizard" drinks water is also very special, whenever night falls, the hot desert during the day becomes extremely cold, and the water vapor scattered in the air forms dew after contacting the body of the "devil lizard". When it accumulates into a multitude, the "devil lizard" has thousands of small grooves on the surface of its skin, adsorbing the water droplets, and then licking its body with its long tongue, drinking enough water to last a day.
In order to protect itself, the "Magic Lizard" can take on three colors: red, yellow, and brown according to changes in the environment. In addition, the "magic lizard" that feeds on ants can eat up to 1800 black ants at a time, so if you want to raise a "magic lizard", you have to prepare a lot of tickets, and there are many ants ~ ~ ~ !!!
