LIZARD LEATHER
LIZARD LEATHER’S FEATURES
Lizard leather scales are waterproof and provide excellent protection from the elements. The scales of the Teju lizard are small and almost square-shaped, with larger rectangular scales along the belly. Like a python, the Teju’s skin has irregular color patterns that vary by subspecies. Ring lizard, or Varanus Salvator. Hailing from Indonesia, the ring lizard’s skin has a series of small round color patterns in its scales, hence the name. Like the Teju lizard, the ring lizard’s scales are small and square-like, with larger, more rectangular, scales along the belly.
Nile Lizard, or Varanus Niloticus. Mostly found in Sudan, the Nile lizard has smaller scales than the ring and Teju lizards. The belly scales on these hides are still larger and more rectangular than the back scales.
Lizard skins tend to be between 0.4 to 0.6 mm thick, thinner than most other exotics. Also, these hides have no calcium content in them, making them softer than crocodiles and stingrays. This makes lizard hide very easy to work with compared to bonier reptile hides.
The thinner hide and lack of calcium deposits make lizard skin flexible and easy to reshape or cut, meaningless drama with the Dremel and other heavy-duty tools to prep the skin for sewing.
Another benefit of low calcium content in lizard scales is that it’s very easy to bleach and dye evenly. With lizard hide, if you want a uniform color, you’ll get a uniform color.
In conclusion, lizard leather has many useful characteristics: beautiful texture, softness, and high durability.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF LIZARD LEATHER PRODUCTS?
PROTECT THOSE MAGIC SCALES FROM WATER AND DUST
The skin should feel smooth to the touch as you slide your finger. If you spot dirt building up in the grooves, you can try to use a soft, bristled brush (an artist’s paintbrush is ideal) to get it out. Be very careful not to lift the scales. Once they come off, they will be unable to be returned to place.
GIVE THEM A THOROUGH CLEANING FROM TIME TO TIME
If you feel like your lizard leather good is getting especially dirty or if it's grown excessively dist, you should use a non-alcoholic, wax-free leather cleaner designed for exotic reptile leather. Always remember to test it in a small and discreet part before you work on all of your leather. Use a white, lint-free cloth and check the cloth for excess color rub-off, discoloration in the lizard skin, or any other side effects. If none are present, you’re good to go. Let it dry in a cool, indoors area away from sunlight and direct heat. Sunlight and heat are harmful to lizard leather care, as they can dry out your leather fast and may shrink it.
