My daughter wanted me to help her with a lizard habitat over the weekend.
- This child has been begging me to get her a lizard for a long time now, and last weekend, we went to a reptile show and she found one that she fell in love with.
I don’t know how in the world she loves lizards so much, because they aren’t exactly warm and fuzzy. I kept telling her that it is not something that she’s going to want to snuggle to sleep with at night. But, she just doesn’t care about that because she really just loves lizards and reptiles. I think that she might actually end up studying them once she goes to college one day. Anyway, for now, she just wanted to have one of her own. I told her that I would help her with a habitat, but I did not realize that lizards needed to have a really expensive type of heating system in order to live and thrive. Apparently, you have to keep the temperature settings just right for one of these lizards, or it can kill them. They have to have a fancy thermostat and temperature gauge inside of their cage and they also need a temperature gauge inside of the cage. Along with that, they need a special kind of heating pad and a heating rock. We live in a fairly cold climate, and so the heating system is definitely non-negotiable if we want to keep this lizard alive for any length of time. Since my daughter already loves him, we are going to have to take good care of him!
