Let’s explore why lizards as pets Australia residents love are becoming more and more popular—and how to choose the right one for you.

Why Choose a Lizard as a Pet?

If you're looking for a pet that’s not too demanding, doesn’t need daily walks, and won’t chew your shoes, a pet lizard might be your ideal companion. Here's why:

🦎 Quiet, Clean & Calm

No barking, no smell, no mess. Lizard pets are tidy, silent, and easy to manage. They won’t scratch your furniture or require a litter box. They’re perfectly content in their own well-set-up enclosure.

🦎 Educational and Fascinating

Watching a lizard move, eat, explore, and interact with its environment is endlessly interesting. It’s also a great way for kids and adults alike to learn about animal care, biology, and the natural world.

🦎 Low Daily Maintenance

Most pet lizards only need feeding once a day (or every few days, depending on the species), along with regular misting or cleaning. Their needs are consistent but not overwhelming—perfect for busy people or first-time reptile owners.

Popular Lizard Breeds for Pets

We stock a variety of lizard breeds for pets, suitable for different experience levels and environments. Here are two standout options you can buy right now from our store:

🐉 Baby Bearded Dragon

Bearded dragons are Australia’s most iconic reptile pets—and for good reason. These social, interactive lizards are known for their chill attitude and ability to recognize their owners. They even wave or bob their heads as a way of communicating!

• Size: Up to 60cm (including tail)

• Diet: Insects + leafy greens

• Temperament: Very tame and beginner-friendly

• Best for: First-time lizard owners, families, classrooms

Whether basking under their heat lamp or climbing over their décor, bearded dragons are a joy to watch and care for.

🌵 Desert Egernia

If you're looking for something a bit different, the Desert Egernia is a unique Australian species with a tough look and bold attitude. These lizards are highly adaptive and thrive in dry, rocky setups. With the right handling, they can become calm, curious companions.

• Size: Medium-bodied with a chunky tail

• Diet: Insects, veggies, and occasional fruit

• Temperament: Hardy, independent, but tameable with time

• Best for: Intermediate reptile keepers or those wanting a rare pet

Their prehistoric look and desert-hardened vibe make them a conversation starter and an excellent display animal.

How to Care for Pet Lizards

Once you’ve found your ideal pet lizard, it’s all about providing a good home. Here's a basic care guide that applies to most pet lizard breeds:

✔️ Enclosure

Make sure you choose the right size tank—most small to medium species are happy in a 60–120cm enclosure. Add branches, rocks, hides, and basking spots for enrichment.

✔️ Heating & Lighting

Reptiles are cold-blooded and need heat to digest food and stay active. Use a heat lamp and UVB light to create a warm basking area (35–40°C) and cooler zone (around 24°C).

✔️ Feeding

Most lizard pets are omnivores or insectivores. A diet of crickets, roaches, mealworms, and leafy greens will keep them healthy. Always dust insects with calcium and multivitamin powder a few times a week.

✔️ Humidity & Hydration

Depending on the species, some lizards need a dry setup (like bearded dragons), while others require regular misting and higher humidity. Always provide fresh water and monitor humidity levels.

✔️ Handling

Most common pet lizards for sale are handleable after a short adjustment period. Handle gently, support their full body, and never grab them by the tail.
