Henry Lizardlover (born March 27, 1954 as ''Henry Schifberg'') is a herpetoculturist, writer, and photographer who changed his last name to "Lizardlover" in 1986 as a symbol of his appreciation for the reptiles. Living nearby Hollywood, California, Lizardlover shares his home with a group of between 30 to 50 different lizards, most of which are iguanas. Since 1982, Lizardlover has been photographing "family photos" of his lizards in humorous human-like poses. Photo calendars and cards are published featuring the lizards. Lizardlover has made appearances on Animal Planet, Now with Tom Brokaw, the short-lived late-night program The Chevy Chase Show, and what is described as "Univision's version of ''Ripley's Believe it or Not''". ()() Lizardlover and his iguanas are featured in a 2006 Ripley's Believe It or Not! book titled ''Ripley's Believe It or Not! Expect...The Unexpected''. (ISBN 1-893951-12-X) He was a contestant in a One-on-One round of a 1990 episode of ''To Tell The Truth'', and was a contestant on the 2006 revival of ''I've Got A Secret''. Lizardlover authored his first guide to reptile care, the ''Iguana Owner's Manual'' in 1992; it is now in its third edition. He and his reptile family were followed extensively in the 2002 Nature documentary film ''"Reptiles: Snakes and Lizards"''. Lizardlover continues to write and contribute to books on the care of reptiles. ==References== * ''"Reptiles: Snakes and Lizards"'', Nature, 2002. (PBS) * Van Houten, Carolynne.
