How to make a Lizard Leash

A lizard leash will prevent your reptile from getting you from you but in my opinion its not worth paying $9.00 for so i made one my self.

Step 1: Materials

Youre going to need 4 ft of some kind of thick string or thin rope, scissors, straw, ruler, id card or thin plastic but strong, and hot glue.

In Florida we use the thin long leaves from palm fronds and tie them into a little lasso to catch and walk lizards

This guide is helpful, it can teach people how to make a leash, but I would definitely change the title to “how to make a small lizard leash”; as I was hoping to find a guide to help me make my own leash for my lizards, I realized that hot glue would break almost instantly for my lizards are pretty large (black-throated monitor, Argentine black and white tegu, and green iguana). I do think that this is a good tutorial on how to make a leash for smaller lizards such as the bearded dragon shown in the pictures though.

I am not certain of the degree of comfort/discomfort the reptile would feel to be stringed up like this though, commercially available leashes for reptiles seem to offer more support to the chest through leather bands and that might be the best way to do it. Their prices are ridiculous though and I understand why someone would want to build their own.
