Handling lizards?

[dihsmaj]

Does anyone have a list of like 1 to 10 of good lizards to handle?
Disregard Beardies, Blueys and Shingles, please.

 

[Braidotti]

The ones you disregarded are the easy ones to handle thou

 

[jinin]

#1: Water Dragon
#2: Southern Forest Dragon
#3: Central Netted Dragon

These Dragons will just tolerate being handled, and even then it depend on the individual, i doubt anyone will be able to name 10 excluding the ones you said 'don't count'.

 

[dihsmaj]

I meant, under ten, sorry.

 

[Defective]

still i don't think that there are that many that handle being handled to much...Yoda loves it and shirt surfing.

 

[1issie]

Well Id say that there aren't others that hold as calmy as those 3

ive got a jacky lizard and shes fine with me taking her out and stroking her, very calm tempered, lovely lizard.

 

[Stevo2]

Frillies handle well if it's kept up.

 

[reptilife]

I have a Gidgee Skink who is as good to handle as any of my Beardeds or Tiliqua.

 

[Dannyboi]

most skinks tame pretty well but thats more like them playing dead Source excellent skills at catching and relocating lizards

 

[Asharee133]

the water skink i caught today didn't mind a head scritch. it was so cute ..it bit me though

 

[Snakeluvver2]

It kinda depends on the individual ay and ALOT of hard work.

Youtube walking my monitor and you'll see what I mean.

Some skinks can become fairly tame.. my baby eastern waters r good

 

[cris]

1 Varanus varius
2 Varanus komdoensis
3 Varanus spenceri
4 Varanus trisitis tristis
5 Hemidactylus frenatus
6 Varanus tristis
7 Lampropholis delicata
8 Varanus Priscus
9 Varanus salvator
10 Tympanocryptis cephalus

Anyone who hasnt hugged all these lizards or at least poked them with their finger to see if they jiggle are just noobs, most likely resposible for the current decline in the hobby.

all lizards are diffrent ive have some water dragons that would rater run and hide then be touched and ive have heaps of geckos that run to your hand its all about letting them adjust

 

[cheddah]

there is no list .
in general they dont like being handled/patted like a cat.

i only handle them when need to, treat them with respect and most lizards will calm over time and maybe respect you in return. no need to handle them any more than necessary imo

 

[Red-Ink]

10 species of lizards that "like" handling = 0

10 species of lizards that "tolerate" handling = individuals in each species

 

[dihsmaj]

I meant tolerate, sorry.

Yeah, I'll move and get a Varanus komdoensis.

Why move? Just get yourself a V varius. They are great handlers lol.
