What is changoleon?

Changoleon, also known as the Mexican Alligator Lizard, is a species of lizard native to Mexico. They are typically found in the states of Guerrero, Jalisco, and Michoacan. Changoleons are named for their resemblance to alligators, with their rough, scaly skin and long, slender bodies.

These lizards are arboreal, meaning they spend most of their time in trees. They have strong limbs and long tails, which help them move easily through the trees. Changoleons are known for their distinctive coloration, which can vary from bright green to dark brown, depending on their environment and mood.

In the wild, Changoleons primarily feed on insects, small mammals, and other small reptiles. They are also known to be shy and elusive, making them difficult to spot in their natural habitat.

Changoleons are popular in the pet trade due to their unique appearance and behavior. However, they require a specialized diet and environment to thrive in captivity, so potential owners should do their research before getting one as a pet.
