1. Habits and characteristics of the white-lipped tree lizard

The white-lipped tree lizard mostly lives in subtropical regions with an altitude of less than 1600 meters Jungle, thicket, grass, etc. Feed on insects. Oviparous. In my country, it is distributed in Yunnan and Guangxi; in Yunnan Province, it is distributed in parts of southwestern Yunnan. Diurnal activity, geckos are mostly active between dusk and dawn.

Many chameleons can cut their tails off, and the severed tails can be wriggled quickly to distract predators, allowing chameleons to escape.

2. Feeding methods of white-lipped tree lizards

1. Environment

White-lipped tree lizards generally inhabit mountain forest margins and around cultivated fields. The white-lipped tree lizard lives in an altitude range of 820 to 1100 meters. The type origin of this species is in Myanmar. This species likes to live in humid tropical rain forests, so the box environment must be kept in a high humidity environment of 75%, the temperature should be maintained at about 25~30°C, and the best size of the box is 150X80X120cm.

Some species that normally reproduce bisexually will switch to parthenogenesis under certain environmental conditions. It is believed that parthenogenesis is conducive to all members participating in the production of offspring, and is conducive to rapidly expanding the population and occupying the field of survival.
