Passage)
Lizards are
unusual, but they can make good
pets
because most of them
are small and easy to
care for. They do
not make loud
noises
, and
they do not need to go for walks or take baths.
Of
course,
some
lizards make
better
pets
than
others.
One
of
the
most
popular lizards
in
pet
stores is
the bearded d dragons are active
during
the day and do not
mind people
holding
them.
Geckos
are
another
popular
pet
lizard.
They
are
a
little
more
difficult
to
care
are
active
at night and need a
warm place to live. Like bearded dragons, they can
be
held by their owners. Both of these
lizards can live ten years or more when they are
well cared for.
Two lizards
that are bad choices for pets are iguanas and
chameleons. Iguanas can grow to be
almost
two
meters
(nearly
six
feet),so
they
need
a
big
space
to
live
in.
They
can
also
bite
or
scratch
their eons do not
hurt
their owners, but they
are quite difficult to care for.
While
iguanas can live up to twenty
years,
chameleons do not live very long. Most do not live
more than five years.
