Next Best Thing to Nature!

Setup & Training Environment When harness training, it is essential to start in a comfortable and familiar environment. This way, your lizard can focus on the training and not its surroundings. Avoid harness training in extreme conditions such as too high or too low temperatures, ensure that it is close to the conditions of their enclosure.

Reward your pet lizard with a treat and encouragement whenever they make progress. This will reinforce harness training, which is a positive experience.

Not all reptiles enjoy being walked. Watch for signs of stress, such as; biting, hissing, gaping (opening their mouth wide). Freezing can also be a stress response. If your pet lizard displays these behaviours, it could indicate that your lizard is scared or unhappy and you are going too fast. Stop and give your pet lizard a break.

Harness Fitting

Adjust the Body Strap to be large enough to fit around your lizard’s middle and the Collar to fit over their head.

When fitting the Harness, ensure it is large enough to minimise movement restriction in case your lizard becomes agitated.

Tighten the Harness to fit your lizard. The Harness should fit snuggly enough to prevent escape but not too tight to restrict breathing and movement.
