can anybody tell me what type of lizard this is??

its not a gecko or an anole. it just doesnt look a thing like either. i dont think its an agama either - its nose looks too long.

its probably some kind of waterdragon, but it could be a basilisk or something like that. or even a green crested lizard, going off the yellow on its neck

when any lizards are that age, they eat insects. try offering him crickets or locusts, but no bigger than his head. you need to check with your friend, or take him to the vet as soon as possible so you can find out exactly what he is and how to care for him properly. remember that both water dragons and basilisks get quite big, so even if you find out later that he isnt one, he might be, so if you intend to keep him, make sure you have enough room.

yep - its a green crested lizard found in southeast Asia Bronchocela Cristatella :)

you have had like an afternoon to think of roughly this wait a week(on the least i might somewhat say a month or 2) do various of study examine some books then ask your mum if u can initiate purchase then kit, get each and all of the stuff u choose get it waiting-up visual reveal unit the temps for a week ( to make effective there ideal) then get a dragon any as quickly as I say each and everything i recommend each and everything there no longer something u can think of oh unwell get that stat/uv bulb later he would be ok without it study SLEEP ON IT FOR a jointly as (i might say a month) THEN GET each and all of the kit WAIT a week jointly as U GET it waiting up THEN GET A DRAGON ive regarded by maximum of your reptile proper questions over the previous couple of days i visit declare u dont look mature adequate to get a lizard the u will could desire to maintain for the subsequent 2 many years to the mummy. u pronounced if u could get human beings at right here to declare sure u might say sure. undesirable advice is given at right here on a on a daily basis foundation i might come across a reptile/exotics specific communicate board get your son to enroll in a jointly as permit him plead his case to them see what they say (im quite effective it is going to likely be an identical reaction to mine)

It's definatly not a gecko or a green anole. i would say a speices of water dragon (hatchling) or tree agama (hatchling) why cant u just ask your friend. surely if it used to be his he'll know how to care for it.

without know the exact species u canot provid it with the care it needs

if not maybe an anole species of some kind but i would bet against it. but i would check out members of the Family Agamidae first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agamidae

Well I can't tell you what it is...but Im pretty sure it probably eats greens/insects at that size. Most green lizards eat veggies and crap like iguanas,chinese water dragons..

maybe a long tail lizard?

This looks like an australian water dragon to me and before you take it you might want to consider some things about them.

This large lizard is a shy and docile pet for those who take the time to treat him properly. With its ferocious name and fairly large body, the Australian Water Dragon is an impressive lizard. These Water Dragons can be tamed and kept as pets in large enclosures. Australian Water Dragons are generally not nervous like some other lizards. It is rare that Water Dragons bite; more often, they will flee if they feel threatened. It is important to handle your Australian Water Dragon with caution and patience until he is used to you. Captive born Water Dragons will be more even-tempered and docile than wild-caught Water Dragons. With the right treatment and care, you will have an impressive-looking pet that makes a sweet companion.

Male Australian Water Dragons grow to an average two and a half feet, though some larger specimens have been seen. Females are generally smaller staying around 20 inches in length. In addition to size differences males are generally more colorful than females as they have beautiful read chests. The heads of the Australian Water Dragon are large and white. They also have broad, flat tails, which aid them in swimming.

Australian Water Dragons are native to the wooded or bushy areas of Australia, which are close to watercourses, which they use as an escape route should they feel threatened. They are used to warm climates and in captivity it is important they are kept warm with a basking spot and a cooler area to allow them to thermo-regulate of their own accord.

Food

Newly arrived water dragons will normally start eating after 3-4 days, as they need some time to adjust to their new surroundings. If you have recently arrived water dragons, it is important to have the temperature inside the terrarium high enough (80F) if you want them to start eating soon. As in Australia they will stop eating when days get shorter and cooler; they may do the same in your terrarium if temperatures and light periods decrease.

We feed them mainly Crickets. The drawback with crickets is that they are nocturnal and hide during the day, while the lizards are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day. So it can happen that there are more crickets in the terrarium then needed, and that the crickets disturb the lizards at night. They also eat super worms.

The Australian Water Dragon is not picky, they will eat most anything from insects like crickets, mealworms, and earthworms, to green leafy vegetables, pinkie mice, and sweet, soft fruits. A balanced nutritional diet is the key for good health. Occasional dusting with multivitamins and frequent dusting with calcium powder is recommended. These powders are readily available at most pet stores.

Cat food and all kinds of sweet and soft fruits (banana, peach, watermelon, etc.) can also be offered to your Australian water dragons. Although some will never touch it while others may accept it readily. Adults may also eat pinkie rats and pinkie mice.

Of the cockroaches you should never feed German or American ones for obvious reasons (they will escape and become a true pest in the house). Hissing cockroaches, and deadhead cockroaches (Blaperus cranifer) can be fed easily from a container with smooth sides.

As always, it is important to "gut load" your feeding insects first. This means you have to feed the insects before they are fed to the reptiles. This way the reptiles get extra nutrients which they may otherwise not be able to get. Sweet potato or carrots are very good choices for "gut loading" your insects.

Terrarium

The terrarium size for one pair of adult water dragons should be about 4 feet long by 3 feet high by 2 feet wide. In the terrarium you can place a tree branch or tree trunk on which they can climb and sit. A warm basking spot is also needed. The water bowl needs to be situated so that it can be cleaned easily. The lizards should to be able to get in and, also, out off the water easily. If you live in a suitable climate they do very well kept outside.

Australian Water Dragons need a water bath, as they enjoy bathing and swimming, in addition to a dry, basking spot kept about 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Hiding places should be provided (into which they can both sleep and hide), which are cooler than the rest of the cage, which should be kept at 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the daytime.

Be sure to give sturdy plants and branches to your Water Dragons so that they may exercise and climb, or hide if they should feel stressed or nervous.

Lighting

If you keep your water dragon inside you need a UVB lamp to provide ultraviolet radiation to the reptile. Please read and follow the instructions that accompany the lamp. It is always important to place the lamp at the correct height (as listed on the lamp’s instructions) above the lizard basking spot. Just 2 inches higher or lower will

possible water dragon

i would say it's some type of anole

get it some medium or small crickets and see if it likes em.
