Baby Fence Lizards

If you are caring for a baby lizard go ahead and offer it the same diet that you would offer an adult.

Baby fence lizards. It is a small gray or brown lizard with a high tendency to climb. These fence lizards are being raised on dusted pinhead crickets. A western fence lizard is also known as a blue belly or spiny lizard. A baby lizard is born with all of the digestive tools it needs to eat an adult diet.

I use the miner all reptile vitamin powder. The fence lizard is the only spiny lizard in our area. Feed baby bearded dragons very small crickets and a salad composed of leafy greens. And if it is a carnivore it will consume meat more on each of these types of diets later.

It requires a 20 gallon tank and uvb lighting along with other accessories to keep it happy in captivity. It is that way from birth. 4 7 14. In males the sides of the belly and base of the throat are a vibrant blue.

Emphasis on dusted as pinhead crickets alone will not provide much nutrition. Most of these baby lizards are one of two widespread species the western fence lizard and the side blotched lizard but it is also hatching season for many of southern californias other lizard species.
