Great question! There are actually dozens of different kind of spiny lizards all across America. There are even more than 10 different types just in Texas! If you get a chance to photo one, it might help with identifying exactly which species it is. Thanks!

Wild lizards can take a while to adjust to new environments. It might take rotating several different food rotations to find one that she’ll consistently eat. Also, are you monitoring the humidity levels? That’s a huge consideration for most reptiles. Hope this helps!

@@senseiinthewild3241 I believe the humidity levels is something I should consider checking into again. I did check the first time I placed her. I’m worried about her health for sure. Thanks for the response, I’ll have to look into a better way to have her feel safe.

Texas spiny lizards require a diet of live insects, and will thrive if you provide them with a variety of species. Giant mealworms, crickets, regular mealworms, silkworms, and non-noxious caterpillars are all great choices. Thanks for watching, and keep it wild!

What u feed it

@@kilo.5500 crickets and meal worms that I buy from petco

@@cosplaygamer23 my brother has bought me one but I can't get the little guy to eat or settle

@@cadenhunt9076 it takes them a while to get used to you. With the food you might have to give them live food. Try mealworms. Make sure you put it in a container where they can eat it.

​@cadenhunt9076 They only eat live pray. Nothing dead. Their food needs to crawl around in order for them to sense it i guess!

Great question. Speed and evasion are their best weapons, so I'd recommend getting a friend to help you catch one. They usually run to high ground and flee up a tree when threatened. They're fairly large, so you might be able to use a net. For me, I've always used my bare hands. The best way is for you and a friend to corner one and then just grab it. I know it's not very technical, but this is how I've always done it. Hope it helps!

@@senseiinthewild3241 okay thanks

Be fast lol they aren’t easy to catch. Usually the best way is to sneak up on them on a tree. On the ground I don’t think any human can catch them when they run. They are small and can go under bushes or up trees in a blink. The only reason I’m here commenting is I managed to catch one. But not in the conventional way. Since it’s February here the weather is still cold and when I went outside there was this huge one sitting on the brick column. When I say big I can honestly say while I’ve seen this size spiny lizard I have never managed to catch one. Since she had not warmed up. I was literally able to pick her up with no resistance. I brought her inside for a while just to make sure she’s actually OK and sure enough within a few minutes of warming up inside she had enough of me holding her and was ready to get away. These are very hearty lizards although I’d feel bad about keeping her as a pet. I’m just guessing it’s a female since they tend to be larger than males, I believe. When I say she’s big She fat, well fed, longer than my hand head to tail. Definitely don’t get much bigger than this

@@martial_matt a way to gender than is to see if it had saturated blue stripes on the underbelly

Be fast n try to get them on the grass in open land they like to be in trees n wood once they on the wood or trees or bushes they impossible to catch
