2:30pm - Keeper in Action - Beaded lizard feed
Cold Blooded Corner at Fur, Feathers & Scales
The beaded lizard eats birds and their eggs, reptile eggs and small mammals. They use their forked tongue to pick up scents and then locate their prey. They are venomous and closely related to the Gila monster, which is also kept at Marwell. Our keepers would be happy to answer any questions you might have but be sure to arrive early since space is limited!
