I've cared for many cats, rodents, and birds, but this is going to be my first time working with a reptile. Any suggestions, ACF?

And no, feeding it crickets or whatever is not likely to bother me.

What type of lizard are we talking? That makes a difference on what they eat...

This. Iguanas only eat fruits and veggies, for instance.

Species changes care requirements.

I had a couple of lizards, when I was younger - Prehensile Tail Skink, and a Blue Tounged Skink - that required a lot of care.

I should correct myself... they will eat other things, for sure, but anything else will be totally bad for them. Animal protein will make them grow really fast but also die at a much younger age, for instance.

Some people feed the things cat or dog food... /sigh

Make sure you have the right amount of light and the right kind of bulbs
