How to put it together

  1. 1

    Select lightweight, non-toxic materials like felt or soft fabric that won't irritate your reptile's skin.

  2. 2

    Adjust the harness or elastic straps to fit loosely, ensuring it does not restrict breathing, movement, or shedding.

  3. 3

    Gently place the costume on your reptile, starting with the body harness before attempting any headwear.

  4. 4

    Supervise your pet closely while they are wearing the costume, keeping photo sessions short (under 10 minutes).

  5. 5

    Remove the costume immediately if your reptile shows signs of stress, such as puffing, darkening, or freezing.

Makeup & hair

If coordinating a matching human look, use green and gold face paint to create scaly textures on the cheekbones and forehead.

Tips

  • Prioritize safety: Never use tape, glue, or heavy materials on your reptile's scales.
  • Keep sessions brief: Reptiles cannot regulate their temperature well, so don't keep them out of their enclosure or in insulating costumes for long.
  • Watch for stress: If your lizard turns black, hisses, or tries to run, remove the costume immediately.
