Long tail lizards are pretty cool they are energetic and fun to watch. We had seven or eight at one time in a 30 gallon tank.
They are another one that you do not want to hand vary much. It is not that they bit it’s that it puts to much stress on them.
We had them actually lay eggs though none of them hatched. I do not think we had the right conditions for that.

They eat medium crickets, meal worms and if you a patient you can get them to eat out of your hand.
We slowly lost them when my local pet store had a hard time getting crickets for about a mouth or so.
Then they stop selling them or we still have some. I think they are a good reptile for kids.

How to Handle A Long Tail Grass LizardThis is a delicate lizard that should be handled only when absolutely necessary. When handled, it must be treated very gently to avoid injury. Approach from the side, speaking to the lizard in a soothing voice. Grasp with one hand on the section of the lizard where you can straddle across its back at the front legs. Use your other hand to take hold of the hips. Care must be taken to ensure that the lizard does not “grab” hold of any objects with its long prehensile tail when it is lifted. Always wash your hands before and after handling a lizard. |

Look Out For This:
The Long Tail Grass Lizard is a calm and hardy lizard with relatively straightforward care requirements. However, the reptile keeper must be careful to maintain relatively high humidity levels (at least 70%) in its enclosure while avoiding the fungal growth that can result from overly humid tanks. |
