The monitor’s saliva contains over 50 bacteria that infect and kill their prey slowly. Is this true?
The carrion meat that get stuck in the monitor’s teeth are teeming with bacteria that can cause infections in the bite wound. However, the main cause of death of preys is the venom secreted by the monitor.

Are monitor lizards venomous?
Contrary to previous beliefs, most lizards do possess glands that secrete venom. While the monitor uses its venom to kill its small preys (symptoms include rapid swelling, drop in blood pressure, and blood clot inhibition), it has a relatively mild effect on humans.

Are they dangerous?
They are naturally shy and would rather stay away from humans. Like most wild animals, they do not attack unless provoked. As long as you keep your distance and leave them alone, you will be fine.

Chinese cave geckos are a group of 13 species of geckos under the genus Goniurosaurus. All of them are nocturnal, insectivorous, semi-arboreal lizards native to Asian from northeast Vietnam through southwest China to Japan. They prefer primary and secondary forest habitats with small bodies of moving water near rock formations.

These geckos range from as small as 5.5″ to as long as 9.5″ (14-24cm). Although exact appearance varies by species, there are some consistencies across the Goniurosaurus genus:

orange/red eyes
vertical pupils
eyelids
bumpy skin
pink-gray belly
no sticky toes
subtly segmented tail
Coloring is generally dark brown to black with white and/or yellow markings. Most have a banded pattern on the body, but some have stripes and others are almost completely patternless.

G. hainanensis is the most common Chinese cave gecko species in the pet trade, but there are others available. They tend to be fairly hardy pets, but this is not an excuse to slack on their husbandry. If you pay attention to providing high-quality Chinese cave gecko care, you may expect your pet to enjoy a lifespan of 10-12+ years.

What do they look like?

Bearded Dragons have spines under and around their throats that give them their distinguishing feature and name. These spikes are actually quite rubbery, not sharp, and fool predators into thinking that this is a dangerous lizard. Both male and female Bearded Dragons have beards.
Bearded Dragons can change colour very quickly to blend in to their surroundings or to make themselves less appealing to predators. When threatened, a mature male changes the colour of his beard to black and puffs it up so that the spines appear rigid and his body looks bigger. He also opens his mouth, revealing a bright colour that surprises predators.

Where are they found?

Bearded Dragons only live in Australia, and right across the mainland. If you live near woodlands or dry eucalypt forests, you may see Bearded Dragons coming to investigate your garden, looking for food or a good spot to sun themselves. They can live in many different kinds of habitats such as subtropical wetlands, scrublands, savannahs, shore areas and even in deserts.

The Eastern Bearded Dragon (Pogona barbata) lives in Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia.

The Dwarf Bearded Dragon (Pogona minor) lives in Western Australia, Northern Territory and South Australia.

The Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps) lives in Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria.



Fast facts

Bearded Dragons can drink when it is raining by standing on their back legs with their heads and tails hanging low. As the water runs down the head towards its mouth, the Bearded Dragon simply laps up the droplets.
The long, low, wide body shape of the Bearded Dragon helps it hug to the ground and remain relatively camouflaged when it is still – but it can move quite quickly if disturbed.
