If you are researching lizards, or just curious, chances are you may have wondered what motivates them to fight\u2026<\/p>\n
Why do lizards fight each other<\/h2>\n
Not all lizards are guaranteed to get along \u2013 even, sometimes, with their species! Lizards can fight for different reasons, though most often it is about territorial dominance or for the right to court a desired mate. In some cases, lizards will even kill a potential mate, if she is the only female there to receive his attention.<\/b><\/p>\n
Except for a handful of species, such as Bearded Dragons, some Geckos, and Anoles, most lizards will do best if they are housed separately and you want to include lots of hidey-hole and space to help things along.<\/p>\n
If your lizards are fighting, it could be quite vicious, and so you\u2019ll need to separate them to ensure their safety, as one or both of them may become wounded enough that you could lose them.<\/p>\n\n
Do lizards ever fight to the death?<\/h2>\n
