Hi Clint, glad to see Timon lepidus finally getting its dues! I have a six month old boy(?) who is shaping up to be very chill and absolutely awesome. It might be good to mention that, though prolific burrowers, they also appreciate climbing opportunities in the form of rock structures or wide branches. And the bigger the better for an enclosure- they're super active and will make use of every centimeter you provide, vertical and horizontal!

I did my master thesis on this species in the wild. Awesome and tough animal! I find it a bit hard to believe that air humidity is a big problem for them as they can live in pretty darn dry ares, as well as in quite humid ones (but don't take my word for granted on this, please). The only thing I truly don't think is correct in this video is the reference to snails, this species has a pretty wide diet in the wild and it does not show a particular taste (or need) for snails, some populations seem quite adapted to hard shelled beetles though, but not all, so give them a diverse diet but do not concern yourself about snails. About wild caught animals... I don't think any of you will come across wild caught specimens in the pet trade, but if you do, they are most certainly illegal (as it is strictly forbidden to capture them in Spain, Portugal and France). In my university there was one L.lepida that spent the day under a palm tree with a colony of sparrows, waiting for baby sparrows to fall down so he could prey on them, I used to throw mullberries at him, and he would eat them very happily!

I genuinely cannot believe how smart this species is! In this video Clint says they don’t typically want to be handled but weirdly mine will scratch at the glass of him terrarium and when I open it he jumps on me and wants to be pet.

Hi, Clint. I'm from Spain, and the jeweled lazerta is a common species in most of my country, ranging from the subtropical semideserts of the Southeast to the wet atlantic coasts of the Northwest, from rocky steppes to the mediterranean bush and even into agricultural habitats. It used to be far more abundant when I was a child, but it's still widespread. We call it "lagarto ocelado", which means "ocellated big-lizard". I personally find it amazing how calm that lizard looks in the video. Here, they are known for being very fast and agresive animals when they feel threatened. They usually run very quickly when they see people and seek shelter inside their burrows or in crevices among rocks, and also they can climb up trees if they need to (fast as squirrels). That's why I had never thought about them as pets that you can handle easily...

I could not possibly love these little reptiles more if I tried! They have the most spectacular and unique personalities, and they really do remind me forcefully of my tegus in miniature 😄 We recently had a clutch of 8 hatch and the neonates are, understandably, very shy but equally curious. After about a month of being as hands off as possible with them, I began placing my hand in their enclosures and they actually come up to my hand, crawl up, and rest on my palm. I have higher spots for climbing in their homes so that they can thermoregulate to their hearts desire, so it really seems as if they sit and stay on my hand solely out of preference and curiosity. They crawl off at their leisure, and even allow me to carefully stroke the tops of their tiny backs! Last week they began eating out of hands and tongs without fear. They will be such outstanding adults! I really need to get this on film but I'm always too excited to do so! I just adore these lizards so very much 😭

Love my lacerta, he jumps on my hand when I put it in his enclosure, love the scale patterns, which vary from legs to tail to head to body to neck. Mine is a melanistic, got him as a baby more than a year ago after researching and some of Clint's videos. I chose the most chill of all his siblings not the most patterned. Started off feeding small horned worms then large ones, then superworms and now he likes large discoid roaches, always used supplement powder, won't eat anything without it, mine hates veggies and fruit though you should try berries, mine does like egg. I use cyprus and coconut husk substrate. Some aqua colored like this one in the video, but also there are greens, yellows, and the melanistic (solid black which sometimes shows the dark blue spots). By me in Florida they are not uncommon in reptile shops. Mine is a very early riser, is always out, prefers too sleep is tighter spots instead of his hides or burrowing. They are native to Spain. Males look very much like a tegu because of their stouter head. I have NEVER been bitten by him, or even threatened to as they would in wild, opening their big mouth, look for videos in Spanish from Spain if you want to see some, see a lot of the yellows in Spain.

@happyhives55646 жыл бұрын
Garter snakes can make very good first time pets, as can ball pythons! Both snakes need a higher level of humidity however, especially ball pythons. Ball pythons are well known for refusing to eat for very long periods of time(I've heard horror stories of 6+month long food strikes), and if the humidity isn't high enough for one of these reptiles they might shed improperly. However, many people get them as beginners so that could be a viable option! Personally, my first reptile was a California Kingsnake, and I love her. They are(generally) desert animals and don't need high humidity or any significantly special care, and they are usually very easy to feed.
@tess20826 жыл бұрын
Happy Hives i actually love that they need high humidity, because i'd love a green/rainforesty-looking terrarium that i'd need to put some effort into. A kingsnake sounds amazing too though, i don't know if i'd like how big they get. I'd have to handle one first to find out.

I got a jeweled Lacerta as my first personal Lizard after seeing this and he is just so fun. I never expected him to be so prone to staying out in public! So much personality, and you weren't kidding when you said they're food driven! He sees the food coming a while away and is front and center waiting for it and holy crap I never imagined that they would be so intellegent

They're beautiful lizards that like you said are very hardy and food motivated.i had one when I was younger but he was very flighty even after a long period of acclimation.other than that he was an awesome pet that I had for quite a while.thanks for your channel n posts

I am really fortunate to live in the UK where they are really quite common. If you ask most reptile shops they will be able to get them in fairly easily :-) this could be the lizard for me thanks Clint 🤣👌

A big chunk of lapis lazuli would be an awesome feature in an enclosure for one of these.

This is already on my "maybe later" list! I love that they are on the very short legal list in Norway so I can consider them legally =^_^= I have seen them in stores, probably due to the list being short ;)

I actually saw two Jeweled Lacerta babies for sale at the Tampa Bay Repticon this past Saturday- I was so surprised when I encountered them too! They were from Imperial Reptiles and I wish I could have taken the time to have held one but the con was closing up shop for the day

Hi Clint, I just got my own Jeweled Lacerta. It's an AMAZING lizard. I agree with you on the 3/5. The enclosure is pretty big. But it's worth watching him hunt.. =)

I have a female called Gem! these are the most amazing lizards and i would rate them as my favourite. My girl is 9 months old, they are readily available in the UK and can become as tame as beardies!
@zakysam73745 жыл бұрын
Can u give more details on care? How hot should the basking spot be? What percentage of humidity should it be? How big should the enclosure be?
@ClintsReptiles5 жыл бұрын
Those are really questions for a care guide. There are many good ones. I also recommend taking to successful keepers.

I found these guys a couple years ago in my search for a small-size, affordable and managable monitor. While these aren't monitors at all, somebody pointed them out to me as being very similar. Long story short, I never bought a lizard. I would've gotten one of these, but I thought they stay half the size of the lacerta in this video, which I thought was smaller than I'm interested in. Now I'm taking a serious second look at the jeweled lacerta.
