What Do Lizards Feed On?

Most species of lizards are carnivorous or omnivorous creatures belonging to the class of reptiles (Sauropsida); a few kinds of lizards like the iguana are herbivorous in nature. The main food of lizards is different kinds of insects like crickets, bugs, moths, ants, termites and flies which they can consume in large quantities at a time.

Bigger lizards have been known to eat rodents, spiders, snails, earthworms and even birds while the Komodo Dragon the largest of the lizards found in Indonesia and which can grow to a length of 10 ft can take down an animal as large as a deer or pig. Iguanas consume plants like mustard greens, turnip greens and escarole as well as fruits and on account of their adaptability are popular as pets.

Some species of lizards can swim in water and are known to enter ponds or lakes to escape from predators or forage for water insects and small fish. Most species of lizards are equipped with strong jaws and teeth and rely on their sense of smell and vision to find their food; some species like the Gila Monster and the Beaded Lizard of Mexico use venom for hunting purposes.

FOOD: crickets, spiders, earthworms, flies, banana, oranges, greens, collards or kale

Usually small lisards feed on bugs like ckrickets and worms. But For CAPTIVE BRED LIZARDS specificly feed them crickets, but if u do not know where to find crickets, just feed them meelworms.

P.S.   You can find both at your local PetsMart.

Lizard are Omnivores. They mostly feed on crickets, salad (no ice burg lettuce, kale is good as well), flies, meal-worms, wax worms, night crawlers, and regular worms. Lizards are great pets but you have to have a big cage and a good environment. I recommend a water dragon, they're easy to take care of. But you also have to make sure that you have the right kind of heating. They need basking lights of 95 degrees, night lights of whatever the lizard needs, and they also need normal lighting of 75-85 degrees. You also need their water to be filtered. You might want to buy one because you don't want to have to change it a lot. You might want to have a big stretch of water because they're swimming creatures, no tap please. You can also look up on the computer about putting milk carton and water proof wire as a fake floor. It's complicated, so look up how to make vivariums (rescuing is good).

Lizards can feed on anything really but there main food would have to be crickets thats what mine eat anyway you can buy them frozen or even alive it is up to yo ;)
