A Dack is small lizard. They come in many different colours and many different patterns. They can be one solid colour or they can be spotted. They can be pastel colours or sun-kissed. When a Dack egg hatches, the young are called Gock. The Dack's scientific name is Lexujp Gekc. A Dack flicks its tongue out like a lizard, this provides smell. The Dack has excellent vision, but sees best during nighttime and dusk when it is the most active.

Diet

The Dack is an insectivore. It feeds primarily upon Slikip, which are high in fat and flavour.

Reproduction

The mating ritual is when a male stands on its hind legs revealing its red underbelly. The male Dack sways back and forth while bobbing it's head to impress the female. The female signals her accept by whipping her tail from side to side. The difference between male and female Dack is that males have red underbellies, while female's have either brown or gray underbellies. Dack do not hibernate, but during the winter is when the female retreats into her burrow to nest the eggs. The male stays with her to provide her with food. When Dack pair up, they stay together until they die.

During the spring months, the Gock prepare to leave their parents forever. A Dack stays with the Gock until they are ready to leave during the spring. When a Dack gives birth during any season but the winter, they are called a Bloomer.

Habitat

As Pets

The Dack can be easily domesticated, though this must be at hatching.
