Hi everyone! I'm new to lizards
in the UK, mainly because I didn't know we had any (sorry!). Anyway, I do now
because I found one. Last Tuesday, the hottest day so far, I
found what I originally thought was a dead newt in the middle of our
conservatory floor. All windows and doors had been shut all day and it's
completely south facing, so was absolutely boiling in there. Thinking it
was dead, I scooped it up on some paper to give it a decent burial, at which
point it moved a teensy bit. Still thinking along the newt line I took it into
a shady corner of the garden at which point it made a dash for it.
Luckily I'd taken a photo first so I thought I'd look to see what sort of
newt it was only to discover it was a lizard! So the point of all this is I'd like
some advice please. Are they happy living in a conservatory? It's flipping
boiling in the summer and freezing in the winter. Last year I found a dried
body of a 'newt' and another time a dried tail so I assume this live one wasn't
an isolated occurrence. I'm more than happy to leave them be but just thought
I'd seek some expert advice on how well they do indoors! Thanks in
advance |
