Also known as the Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara), it lives further north than any other reptile, extending well north of the Arctic Circle across Europe and Siberia. I photographed this individual at high altitude in the Peak District where it will have endured a pretty punishing winter, and a punishing summer too, come to think of it. The name viviparous comes from the fact that they give birth to live young, but they are really ovoviviparous because they retain eggs inside their body until after they have hatched. Some snakes (eg Rattlesnakes) are also ovoviviparous.

I could watch lizards all day especially at this time of year. The courtship involves a lot of tail flicking and biting!
Taken yesterday at Greylake R.S.P.B nature reserve. There were loads of mated pairs of different species all busily egg laying. Amazing for this time of year but the day was sunny and warm. Somerset, UK.
The genus Dracaena (romanized form of the Ancient Greek δράκαινα - drakaina, "female dragon"), also called Caiman Lizards.
Its head is bulky and often a red or orange colour. Their jaws are heavily muscular to help aid in eating its normal prey of snails, crawfish and fresh water clams. It also has a few adaptations that help it in its watery habitat.
