Reasons for the slow growth of green-maned lizards:

1. Malnutrition

The slow growth of green-maned lizards may be due to calcium deficiency , caused by malnutrition.

2. Inappropriate space

The larger the body size, the larger the space required for green-maned lizards. When the space is not suitable, green-maned lizards will also develop green manes. Lizards grow slowly.

3. Age relationship

Generally speaking, green-maned lizards can grow about eight centimeters per year, and can grow up to about two meters. The total length of a green-maned lizard that has been growing for seven years is at least 127 centimeters. Some green-maned lizards find it difficult to grow when they reach 1.3 meters, so it is difficult to increase their length after seven years. They will only gain weight, but this is not the case. It will be related to the genes of each individual.

4. Unsuitable temperature and humidity

The slow growth of green-maned lizards may also be caused by unsuitable temperature and humidity. The optimum temperature for the growth environment of the Green Maneed Lizard is 32 degrees during the day, 25 to 28 degrees at night, and the humidity is best controlled above 60 to 80%.
