I have owned a large (3 feet) giant glass lizard (sheltopusik)
since October. He/she is in excellent health and is a blast to feed (it takes f/t fuzzy mice from forceps). A few questions:
1.) Does anyone know the proper way to sex these lizards?
2.) As they live in temperate climates, would hibernation be of any benefit? If so, is the procedure for hibernating these lizards similar to hibernating colubrid snakes, or are there important differences?
I appreciate the help. - Tom
