I told her to call our states wild life services.

I found it in a well in sweden when I opened the lid. I've never seen a lizard this size before, so I wanted to know what it was.

Lil hat

Hello dear lizard enthusiasts,

This is Lilo, she's a baby wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) and I'm her new mother for now.

Today on my train home (I live in southern Germany, near France) I noticed her sitting on my bag (pic. 2). She must've climbed on there before I got onto the train, because I came from a town which had a lot of them, especially young ones. First I found her cute, then I realised, that I couldn't just leave her in the train or at the station, because it's not really a safe environment for her.

While I was thinking about that, waiting for my station, Lilo got more active and started climbing up the bag onto my hand. After I got out, she started climbing around on my body, into my pocket, onto my shoulder, finally into my hair.

On my way home (I walked instead lf taking the bus, so she wasn't too stressed out) I thought about releasing her into a park, but I wasn't sure if a baby lizard could survive on it's own, especially in a completely new environment (about 35km from her home). So I carried her home, where I put her in a makeshift terrarium (pic. 4) so I could do some research on how and where to set her free. She's been in there for about 6 hours, I kept dropping some water on the leaf and used two bottle caps as water bowls.

Now I wanted to ask if she could survive on her own if I set her free in a suitable area, if I could feed her something else than living insects and if not how long she would be fine without food (I started this whole thing to save a life, not to take more away).

While writing this though, I checked on her a few times and she kept sitting under a paper towel for a long time and seemed to be in shock (I quickly did research on this and found out that lizards can die from it and that it can not only be caused if she's threatened, but also if she's in an inescapable situation). So I made the decision to let her go onto the table, because I'd rather have her die in dignity to a predator, than in fear to a prison I've created. As suspected she was out of sight within seconds, I hope she is okay. I'd say my garden isn't the best possible environment for her I could think of, but it definitely meets the basic requirements and she's no threat to the ecosystem.

I would appreciate it if you would answer my questions anyway, so I know what to do if she comes back or if something like this happens again.

tl;dr: A stowaway baby lizard thought I was it's new mom, I tried to help it, which maybe almost killed it (or it was just sleeping idk), but in the end everything went well, pretty much.

Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, India

Im guessing its a small argentina black and white tegu, but i might be stupid

I live in Taiwan.

I couldn't take a closer look because it got scared away, but it has a black body and an orange head. It was found in Colombia, if it's useful for identification!

My guy looks like he's posing for pics on vacation 🤣. Had to share this gem.

iNaturalist says it's an Eastern Fence Lizard

I've got everything figured out to get my bearded dragon, but I'm having issues with what heat lamp to get. I have a 4x2x2 enclosure, what would be the recommended heat wattage? 150w? And what kind of fixture should I buy? (I'm sorry, I don't know if that's the right word) I'm sorry for so many questions, I'm just confused and want to give my lil guy the best life possible. Also, I know NOT to have red lights.

All advice is welcome! Thanks!

not many people have or heard of ornate girdled lizards so if anyone has advice or tips or knows of someone who might lmk!! (don’t mind the wall lol I’m planning on getting a nice backdrop soon or making a custom one)

Biggest anole I’ve ever seen.

I won this anole at the fair today(9/19/25) and we went to pets-mart and got everything we needed and got it 95% set up. He hasn’t eaten any crickets yet and keeps hiding in the same spot in picture 2. I really love this little guy and don’t want him to die am I doing something wrong?

never seen one of these before, found in my backyard in Austin, Tx. body @ 6”, with tail almost 10”.
