Understanding the Common Causes of Lizard Mortality"},"content":{"rendered":"
Lizards are fascinating creatures that have become increasingly popular as pets. However, many owners struggle with keeping their lizards alive. It can be frustrating and disheartening to invest time and money into a pet only to have it die unexpectedly. So, why do lizards keep dying?<\/p>\n
One common reason for lizard deaths is improper husbandry. Lizards have specific temperature, lighting, and humidity requirements that must be met in order for them to thrive. If these conditions are not met, the lizard can become stressed, which can lead to illness and death. Additionally, improper diet and nutrition can also contribute to a lizard’s demise.<\/p>\n
Another reason for lizard deaths is disease. Lizards can contract a variety of illnesses, including metabolic bone disease, respiratory infections, and parasitic infections. These diseases can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and can quickly lead to death if left untreated. It is important for lizard owners to be aware of the signs of illness and seek veterinary care as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n
