"These lizards look great on a shelf, and if you want to display it on a shelf, that's great. But if you're running out of room, you may want to look for another option. Since my lizard is still drying, and you want to make sure that your lizard is really dry before you attempt putting him on the wall, you can either put him on a table on a shelf, something like that or you can get creative with a couple tacks and try to put him up on the wall. And how we do that is we push him flatly against the wall, and then push the tacks in so that his body basically, the weight comes down right on, right on the tack, and that's going to hold him in place. We'll use about four tacks for this, pushing them in at an angle. And you barely see the tacks once they're in. We'll do it around the other side too, maybe one under here. Pressing the tack up to hold it in place. And that way you can really see the design and the shape of the lizard."
