I've cared for many cats, rodents, and birds, but this is going to be my first time working with a reptile. Any suggestions, ACF?
And no, feeding it crickets or whatever is not likely to bother me.

What type of lizard are we talking? That makes a difference on what they eat...

This. Iguanas only eat fruits and veggies, for instance.

Species changes care requirements.
I had a couple of lizards, when I was younger - Prehensile Tail Skink, and a Blue Tounged Skink - that required a lot of care.

I should correct myself... they will eat other things, for sure, but anything else will be totally bad for them. Animal protein will make them grow really fast but also die at a much younger age, for instance.
Some people feed the things cat or dog food... /sigh

Make sure you have the right amount of light and the right kind of bulbs

Also a good point with the bulbs. Standard bulbs won't work well at all. You want the full spectrum daylight bulbs.
Also, the critters are very temperature sensitive and most will want it very warm (75F+), so don't stick them in a cold basement.

Go buy a backup one now and just ignore it for the week. You then have a replacement.

have them write up a simple care sheet for you. specifics on cage temps, bulbs used, types of food and how often to feed, etc.
if it ends up being a leopard gecko i can help with most things since i'm familiar with them.

thanks everyone, if I remember right they already have a lamp for it in the classroom that should be coming with the lizard (because it doesn't do any good sitting unused).
