The southern lizard does not recognize its owner. Because they are cold-blooded animals, although they can be kept as pets, they generally do not have the ability to recognize their owners. But if the owner spends a long time with them and feeds them with his own hands every time, they will become familiar with the owner's smell and movements and develop conditioned reflex behaviors. For example, they will run over to the owner when they see him and will not bite him.

The correct way to raise the southern slide lizard:

1. Prepare the lizard’s activity place. To raise a lizard in a tank, you need to first prepare a container with a larger volume. The length of at least one side is 2.5 times the length of the lizard. This can be prepared according to the size of the lizard. Put some rocks and some sand in the container, and plant some plants to give the lizard a place to hide and rest.

2. Prepare enough food. Different species of lizards can be determined based on the food habits of the lizard. Most lizards eat meat, so you can prepare them with insects such as cockroaches, mealworms, and earthworms sold in the market.

3. Suitable environment. Lizards are cold-blooded animals and are relatively sensitive to temperature. It is very important to keep the surrounding temperature suitable. Try to maintain the temperature above 20 degrees. In winter, you can also use lights or heat pads to adjust the temperature to prevent lizards from hibernating.
