A: found lizard

First, if you caught this lizard, PLEASE....return it to where you found it!! Wild caught lizards can harbor very serious diseases that can be transmitted to humans and other pets.... one very serious disease is salmonella. They can and do also harbor parasites which can be transferred. Its aggressive due to fear...that fear causes stress....which causes death.... In one of my other replies to you I gave a link with pictures of various lizards. The link was http://markmlucas.com Agamidgallery.htm
Again, if you caught this lizard, please let it go!!!!
Also, most wild caught lizards will die in captivity as that the stress of captivity is huge. Most often they will not eat because its sometimes very hard to match their diet in the wild. Please, if this was wild caught, return it to the area you found it and enjoy it in the wild as nature intended.
