The "Nile monitor" is a large species that can grow up to 2 meters in length. Its body is covered in large scales with a gray-brown or olive coloration, featuring yellow spots and bands that help it blend into its surroundings. These lizards have powerful limbs with sharp claws, which they use for digging burrows and climbing trees, as well as a long tail that can serve as a defensive weapon.
Nile monitors are found throughout Africa, typically near rivers, lakes, and swamps. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of prey such as fish, insects, small mammals, birds, and eggs. These lizards lead a semi-aquatic lifestyle and are excellent swimmers and divers. 0 reply

The "Green Iguana" is a large lizard that can grow up to 2 meters in length, including its tail. It is known for its bright green color, which can range from light green to bluish tones, allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings in the tropical forests of Central and South America. The iguana has a long, powerful tail that it uses for defense against predators, as well as a distinctive crest on its back made up of sharp spines.
Green iguanas are arboreal lizards, spending most of their time in trees and feeding on leaves, fruits, and flowers. To keep them in captivity, a spacious terrarium with proper lighting, humidity, and temperature is required. With proper care, these lizards can live up to 20 years. 0 reply

The "bearded dragon" (Pogona vitticeps) is one of the most popular pet lizards due to its friendly nature and fascinating behavior. They grow to a length of 45-60 cm and are known for their distinctive "beard"—sharp spikes on their throat that can puff up to create an intimidating appearance when threatened.
The bearded dragon has a flat, broad body and is colored in various shades of sandy, orange, or brown, helping it blend into its surroundings. These lizards are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and they enjoy basking in the sun, often climbing onto branches or rocks in their enclosure.
Bearded dragons are omnivorous, meaning their diet includes insects, fruits, and greens. They require a balanced diet and special UV lighting to help strengthen their bones and maintain health.
Bearded dragons can live up to 10-15 years in captivity, making them long-lived pets among reptiles. 0 reply
