Today, I was awoken by the sound of my pet lizard eating my other pet lizard. FML

Duckzy tells us more.

Hey guys, OP here. I just wanted to say a few things, first off, I was awoken by the sound of the lizards running around in their habitat, not by cries or crunches or whatever. Secondly, the lizards were the same size and opposing genders so I was told to put them together by the person who sold the lizards to me. Lastly, unfortunately by the time I got to them, the other lizard (Female in case you were wondering) was already half inside of the other's stomach.

Oh how sad. But you know what they say: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Yeah, that's a pretty common thing with some reptiles. Poor lizard :(

And this is the reason you research any pets you plan to get before getting them.

My nieces male lizard started attacking the smaller female so we had to put the female in a different cage. Then we found out she was pregnant and when she laid the eggs, she started eating them ?

what kind of lizards were they? And if they ate each other you most likely weren't feeding them enough. At least to their standards. If they were two males they could have gotten into a fight and the other said screw it "I'll show you dominance" and ate the other. I hope they weren't different lizards because if so that is usually bound to happen.

They were both side-blotched lizards and were fed up to their standards, this was an uncharacteristic move and I will never know the reason for the male doing so unless I ask him myself.

Sometimes even if they can be housed together the same animal will eat one another... I had 4 gold fish and had two for 2 years and the other two for 1 year... Woke up one morning to one of the fish completely eaten :/ yet I fed more then recommended :/

Ohmigosh! Thanks for clarifying--I thought you meant that a reptile was eating your penis!
