Crocodilians, Monitors and Tegus
Crocodilians, Monitors and Tegus are intermediate to expert
lizards that can be maintained by a beginner with lots of care
and patience for these lizards. These types of lizards are known
for their large sizes and aggressiveness but make great pets for
anyone who is able to care for them. These are the largest
lizards and require larger enclosures than the other lizards on
this web site. They also may have enormous appetites and require
large meals on a weekly base.
These animals require temperature ranges of 80-95 degrees.
They also need to have a basking spot or heat rock and have
special lighting requirements. These lizards should be purchased
with lot’s of thought in their care and the space they will
need. These lizards are wonderful to have for exhibition, and to
handle. With time and patience you may be able to tame your
Monitor, Tegu, or crocodilian but you should remember that they
can still be very aggressive.
Tegus
Tegus are the best beginner to intermediate lizard out of
this category. They generally aren’t as aggressive, but this
depends on the individual lizard. They can grow fairly large and
can be expensive to feed, and require large enclosures. Tegus
can have very exotic colors, and patterns which make them a
wonderful lizard for any collection.

Monitors
 Monitor
lizards are the best beginner to expert lizards in this
category. They grow large with very lengthy tails. There are
many types of monitors from Dwarf monitors which grow to around
3 ft, to water monitors which requires lots of water in their
enclosure. Tree monitors who do a lot of climbing, and savannah
monitors which prefer a simulated desert. Monitors are the
smartest of the many different types of lizard they are very
intelligent and need to be highly respected. If you decide to
purchase a monitor lizard please contact us before purchasing so
we can help you find or build an enclosure that meets your
monitors need. We love monitor lizards, for their personalities
and their beauty.

Crocodilians
Crocodilians are the largest reptiles with legs. They should
only be purchased by an intermediate to expert lizard handler.
Actually Crocodilians fall under their own category from
lizards, but I have put them here for your ease. Crocodilians
come in may different sizes from caimans to alligators and
crocodiles. Crocodilians require large enclosures and a basking
spot to digest their food. Their upkeep can be very expensive,
and they require lot’s of attention. I would recommend one of
these lizards for exhibition purposes only and I wouldn’t
recommend handling.
