🌍🌎🌏World Lizard Day 🦎🦎🦎🦎
🦎Lizards have been around since the time of the dinosaurs🦖🦕, and today there are over 6,000 known species. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and patterns and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Not only are they fascinating to observe in their natural habitats, but they also play an important role in many ecosystems by controlling insect populations. So let's give them the recognition they deserve on this special day!
Please share a picture of delightful Lizard pets 🦎🦎🦎

Please note: Our animal care advice aims to help owners meet their animal’s needs as required by law. We receive many calls from members of the public concerned about the welfare of animals, each one is assessed to determine the level of suffering. As a charity with limited resources we’re not always able to respond in the way that would be ideal or as quickly as the emergency services can. In some instances we may not be able to respond at all, due to the way the RSPCA must prioritise the welfare concerns that are brought to our attention.
