Description: 

This arboreal Species is built for the trees and canopy, barely coming down unless pushed out of their territory by competitors or predators. They can live both on insects and nectar or sap. Ivy Lizards have a particular interest in collecting seeds on their backs, tending to them until they grow over their entire body as a form of camouflage. Ivy is a favourite of the species, hence the name.

Ivy lizards are live bearing reptiles, carrying their young on their backs once born. When an ivy lizard is young, their first seeds will typically come from their parents as they hide in their foliage. There is significance in trimming down the foliage of an ivy lizard, this practice prevents the overgrowing roots and leaves from impeding their legs.

These creatures come in a huge variety of colours, changing their skin overtime to match the foliage they choose to carry on their backs. The plant life can vary from lizard to lizard, some even having multiple species of plants on their backs.

 

Misc Facts: 

  • The offspring of an ivy lizard will live on the backs of the male parent for a few weeks, collecting the seeds for their own use in order to start them off early in life.
  • Ivy lizards typically have 4-5 sets of legs, but there have been any documented to have exceed that number.
