	Lizard - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lizards are reptiles which have a transverse external anal opening (instead of a longitudinal slit as in Crocodilians and tortoises) and which have the right and left halves of the mandibles connected by a sutural symphysis.
		The lizards and snakes are the two dominant reptilian orders which are still on the increase in species, though certainly not in size.
		I) is the frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingi), which is restricted to Queensland and the north coast, and grows to a length of 3 ft., including the long tapering tail.

	Moondance: Celebrating Creative Women — Columns — The Lizard on the Teacart — By Diane Dees
		The lizards especially interest me. We have countless geckos and chameleons, some little translucent lizards, and lizards with beautiful blue stripes on their backs.
		Lizards, as it turns out, need a lot of bright light, so the plant lights on the cart do double duty as a kind of lizard tanning salon.
		We imagine that a lizard choosing to live on a Victorian teacart, in Victorian surroundings, is some lizard indeed.

		CHICAGO – April marks the inaugural visit of a king to Chicago – lizard king that is. A feast for the eyes, Faust the Komodo dragon, will hold court at Shedd Aquarium’s new special exhibit, Lizards and the Komodo King.
		And from the tiny day gecko to the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, they'll all be at Shedd as part of a new must-see special exhibit, Lizards and the Komodo King, opening April 8.
		Visit Lizards and the Komodo King and you’ll learn why some lizards bark, eject their tails to evade predators, have “beards” and even use their tails to hang from treetops while they sleep.

		This plant is a species of the genus Dracaena, such as Dracaena Roehrs Gold: http://flora2000.co.kr/foliage/PIC/Dracaena_Roehrs_Gold-1.JPG Dracaena: (various species) http://www.floraexotika.sk/rol/dracaena.htm which I find most interesting in and of itself since this name refers to a dragon, specifically a female dragon or she-serpent.
		King Cobra: http://www.tri-valley.k12.il.us/es/special/media/graphics/cobra.jpg http://lincoln.k12.mi.us/~northrop/kingcobra.gif When Dracaena grows tall and I believe when it flowers it can split its stem in two, which reminds me of the split tongue of the serpent.

		This lizard should be looked after by experienced lizard keepers- not after you have had your first gecko.Water Dragons like all animals need a responsible parent to protect and care for their every need.
		I would say that a person (who has lizards in the past and took good care of them) who is about 13 -14 could take care of one.
		Remember this is a stressing time for your lizard, and he may stop eating for a few days or a week- but he should be drinking water.If the dragon looks ill- then contact your vet immediately.

		These plants require that their pots be damp at all times, or they won't make it (not usually a problem in chameleon enclosures!).

		If the plant is new your goal is to clean off fertilizer and other residues through washing, and then change the soil for the same reasons.
