European Green Lizard
| Place of Origin and Range | The European green lizard is a large lizard distributed across European mid-latitudes from Slovenia and eastern Austria to as far east as the Black Sea coasts of Ukraine and Turkey. |
| Description | This lizard sometimes sheds its tail to evade the grasp of a predator, regrowing it later. The male has a larger head and a uniform green colouring punctuated with small spots that are more pronounced upon its back. The throat is bluish in the adult male and to a lesser extent in the female. The female is more slender than the male and has a more uniform colouration, often displaying between two and four light bands bordered by black spots. |
| Morph Patterns Available | Yes |
| Adult Size | Can grow up to 12 in ( 30 cm) |
| Accommodation | Temperatures of 79 °F (26 °C) to 95 °F (35 °C) and must have appropriate sources of UVB and UVA lighting, or else their bodies cannot produce vitamin D that promotes calcium absorption, which can result in a metabolic bone disease that can be fatal. A large enclosure and access to fresh water. |
| Lifespan | Can live 3-8 years |
| Feeding / Diet | This species eats a variety of insects, the occasional blossom, and a fruit-honey mixture will be accepted. |
