If you release him, he'll die before winter (probably sooner thanks to dogs/cats/etc). That little guy was someone's pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nochknstrps Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 If you really want to keep it, just get a small enclosure and some crickets and you're good to go... Can't promise you that it will live very long in your care but they get a pretty good size in the wild, and trust me it won't die this winter if you do let him go.

jagr Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Jess. I read about some reptiles called Lazarus lizards. I think it was in "uncle Johns Bathroom reader". Lol. But anyways Cincinnati has quite a population of lizards. Also called wall lizards or House Geckos. Just do a google search. Also looks like UC has done a study or two on these lil' guys. Apparently they were called Lazarus Lizards because the Lazarus family (Department store) brought some back from Italy to eat bugs around their pool. This was early last century and have adapted well they say. In Italy they are called Ruins Lizards or something. Check it out and let me know.

I thought they needed 65 degree or higher temps. In the western states (Idaho, California, Utah, Nevada, etc) they are inactive in the winter months.

nochknstrps Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 They aren't active by any means, they will hibernate just like most reptiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 They aren't active by any means, they will hibernate just like most reptiles.I thought they did that around 50 - 60 degrees, and much cooler than that they died. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
