ADVANTAGES OF LIZARD SHELTERS

The ECONEX LIZARD SHELTER is a conservation tool that protects lizards from predation by snakes and other animals, helping to increase local biodiversity. It offers lizards a refuge during winter when their activity decreases.

The establishment of lizards in a specific area also contributes to vegetation consumption, playing a key ecological role in seed dispersal through their droppings.

Additionally, promoting the presence of lizards helps with biological control against potential pests in parks and gardens. Lizard shelters also serve as an important resource for environmental education and citizen science.

INSTALLATION AND MONITORING OF LIZARD SHELTERS

The shelters should ideally be placed in areas with diverse native vegetation, including wild shrubs and plants, abundant flowering, and spaces with varied substrates and different temperature gradients that can attract invertebrate fauna throughout the seasons, providing shaded areas for the shelters.

The availability of water nearby will also encourage the establishment of invertebrates, making the shelter more attractive to lizards.

Deep water sources should be avoided, or an element should be added to allow lizards to exit if necessary. Similarly, shelters should not be placed near feline colonies.

The shelters should be located in areas not overly exposed to rain. To encourage reproduction, it's essential to position the shelters partially protected from direct sunlight.

The shelter requires no maintenance unless the materials become visibly deteriorated.
