Ashurbanipal had confirmed his half-brother Shamash-shum-ukin as local ruler of Babylonia, but with restricted powers. Assyrian garrisons and officials there continued to report to the Assyrian king, and he continued to appoint governors both in the Sealand (Persian Gulf) and in Ur.
Lizards mostly eat insects, but some will scavenge carcasses of larger animals. Lizards belong to 4 different families of suborder Laceretillia of order Squamata and live in different habitats. Common lizards eat mostly insects, but marine iguanas of the Galapagos Islands dive for seaweed and algae, and will eat small crustaceans and insects.
The vast majority of insectivorous lizards will thrive on a diet of crickets, roaches and wild-caught insects dusted with a vitamin supplement. Insects are easy to feed to your pet and are readily available. Start with a half dozen or so to see how many your pet will eat. You can buy live crickets at most pet shops.
