How do I know when a lizard is stressed by its environment or cage mate, and how to tell the difference?
The answer is easy and most keepers have already witnessed this at some point or an other.
Lizards claw at the door when something is wrong. Food, water, heat, hydration they will try to get out if any of these is missing or wrong.
In groups we often see one lizard trying to get out, this lizard is saying help. When bullied, when mating calls they will clay to get out.
When I see a lizard clawing to get out, immediately I go to alarm mode, why? It take a minute to figure out the problem, maybe this is why I don’t have much problems with my captives.
Its this simple!
Ps. Those of you thinking your lizards wants to play when they claw at the door, should consider a dog.
