Lizard right for me?

herpz Nov 09, 2007 11:42 PM

I would love to have a list or a few different lizards that I could be able to go on vacation for 1-2 weeks without the lizards being affected.

Thanks for all the help

as far as i know no lizard could go that long without any attention and still be a happy healthy lizard. maybe you could get a fish lol. there might be some kind of gecko that could go a few days but i dont know about a week. wait for some more replies before you decide tho because i dont know much about different kinds of lizards. i mostly know ameivas and bearded dragons because thats what i have lol.

Carnivorous lizards can go longer without food than insectivorous or vegetarian lizards.

What you really need to get is a lizard that suits your day to day schedule and what your interest is, and then find a pet sitter who is not squeamish about stopping by every couple of days to do a feeding.
