==Introduction==
Lizards tend to be bright, alert and responsive, almost inquisitive. Captive-born ones are more tame and docile, and tolerate [[Lizard Handling and Restraint|handling]] and sometimes relax when being lightly stroked. Wild-caught lizards are often shy, wary and try to escape at the slightest disturbance.

Wild-caught lizards are often shy, wary and try to escape at the slightest disturbance.
When several lizards are [[Lizard Housing|housed]] together, aggression and dominance is not always overtly physical since actual fighting may not occur. Subtle behaviour by the dominant lizard may result in the subordinate staying away from basking areas and food and slowly dying of stress-enhanced [[Lizard Hyperthermia/ Hypothermia|hypothermia]] and starvation.
