The Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) is a semiaquatic lizard found only in cool forests in the Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou Provinces of southern China, and the Quảng Ninh Province in northern Vietnam.
Keeping a close eye on its tail ! I thought it was too cold in Scotland for these guys - seen on a bench in Arran.
Often referred to as Common Lizard, this is the only lizard found in most of the UK away from the south coastal regions. The name refers to it's unusual habit of usually giving birth to live young, unlike most other reptiles, though some lay eggs too, generally in Southern Europe. I think this one is female, having a head narrower than the body and with dark stripes.
It was brought to me in-hand by a young man working on the country park fencing and released onto the fence post after taking a few shots. I prefer to not have fingers in my images :-)
It was comfortable with 2 of us taking pics for a few minutes. The bokeh/background is my pal's hand.
It's really worth viewing full size if you have time, the beauty of these goes unnoticed in life size.....
By the way it was about 4" (10cm) from nose to tail-tip, about a quarter of it seen in this crop!
NO GROUP INVITES PLEASE
thanks to a couple of lads that initially spotted this and carefully cleared the grass away from around it without disturbing it at all i got this cracker of a common lizard at b.m.w today ,hand held 400mm lens plus 20mm auto ext tube
A superb find by my dad on our reptile walk in Glen Esk. This common lizard was a bit chilly (as were we!), so proved a great subject for a few shots :)
There are some extra shots in the comments.
I saw my first Collared Lizard last August, but it was not the colorful beauty that this one is. It is shedding it's skin and was trying to get the dried skin to come off by rubbing all over the rocks. I found it while hiking with my husband on a Missouri Mountain top.

Lizard's Tail gets its name from its flower stalk, which somewhat resembles a lizard's tail because it grows sideways. It has many tiny white flowers in a long narrow column. The flower column can grow up to six inches long. This plant can grow up to five feet tall, but much of the plant will be underwater since it prefers to grow in ponds or marshes. Seen at Riverwood Park Conservancy.

At least that's what I think it is. It seems to be more like that species than the common lizard. The sunshine that we're enjoying at present is encouraging them to bask but of course if you get too close they scurry away.
Lounge Lizard. He may look innocent, but..... or is it "butt?" Soon after I took this, he decided to repeatedly jump up and poke his claws into my behind while I was attempting to edit this photo. I asked him why he did it, and all I got was a non-committal "because it's there." He has subsequently been put under house arrest, as much for clawing as for being a smart ass.
