T.J.’s Answer

Hello Kylen!

The reptile that might be the hardest to interact with are Thorny Devil Lizards.

Their feeding needs might feel demanding. Ants are the creatures they eat the most. In fact, they pretty much only eat ants, and consume a lot of them. Over 1,000 per day, reportedly! Here's some more information about them!

To learn more about the most difficult animals to take care of, see if you can reach out to Zookeepers at a zoo near you!
Generally, the hardest animal may depend on where they are. The environment will likely influence how animals live and behave. Local Zookeepers can give you a better idea of the reptiles where you live.

Enjoy learning more about reptiles! :)
