Price: The price of a maned lion is quite complicated. The average maned lion is only more than 100 yuan, which is quite cheap. However, the complexity of the price of maned lion is that maned lion has various colors and genes. Generally speaking, the better the color, the more expensive it is. For genes, the price of 3 genes is about 700 to 1,000, and zero genes are more than 10,000 yuan.

For juvenile lizards, newspaper pads can be used, and it is best not to crawl sand to avoid accidentally eating. For adults, they can be used to crawl sand.
Feeding method: The larvae feeds insects and green vegetables twice a day. Sub-adults and adults can feed insects and vegetables once a day. The best insects are crickets , Durby cockroaches, etc., and the best vegetables are oleifera, lettuce leaves, etc. It should be noted that the length of insects should not be too long, and vegetables should also be cut into edible sizes. At the same time, some calcium powder, vitamin powder, etc. can also be added to increase minerals.
2. Green-bred lizard
Green iguana is more popular in the United States. The generally raised green-bred lizard is called Green Iguana, which is what we often call GI.
Features: easy to raise, not clingy, vegetarian, arboreal.
Price: Green iguanas are also very cheap, generally speaking, they are about 100 yuan. The price of green iguanas is not as complicated as that of maned lion lizards, and green iguanas are green and red. No matter what color, the price is not high. Even if the quality is good, the price usually does not exceed 400.
Living habits: Be sure to give the green-maned lizard enough sunshine. The temperature during the day is controlled at around 32 degrees and about 25-28 degrees at night. As the green-maned lion grows up, it will become more and more popular and will become bigger and bigger. Therefore, try to put more tree trunks in the feeder for climbing. Secondly, the feeder must be large enough.
Feeding method: Basically all vegetables, plants, flowers and leaves can be fed, but you must pay attention to the diversity and nutrition of the food, and also pay attention to the supplement of calcium and vitamins.

The colors should be bright and the patterns should be clear. You should also pay attention to the fact that the body is not damaged, the scales on the whole body are not damaged, the tail is not broken, and the tips of the limbs and claws must be intact. Only lizards selected in this way can be raised with confidence.
