I keep looking for ticks on these lizards, as their protein in their blood kills the spirochette bacteria which causes Lyme disease. Note the different colored tail on this lizard. The reason is that it has lost its tail to save its life (Autotomy), and the new tail that regenerates does not grow back identical to the one it sacrificed.
The western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) is a common lizard of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Northern Mexico, and the surrounding area. As the ventral abdomen of an adult is characteristically blue, it is also known as the blue-belly.
It is a member of the genus Sceloporus (the spiny lizards).

Podarcis muralis - male
Hamilton County, Ohio
Several P. muralis were released into downtown Cincinnati, Ohio in the early 1950s (supposedly by the Lazarus family). They've thrived in the urban areas of Cincinnati and have manged to colonize surrounding Kentucky and Indiana. Pretty cool lizards - I honestly don't mind seeing them in the ghettos of Cincinnati....

Unsure of this one.
Not much idea of British Lizards i am afraid. I think its a common, but feel free to correct me.
If it helps it was taken at Ketton Quarry in Leicestershire.
Thanks in advance!
In a warm sun spotted in the New Forest we spotted this tiny common lizard in the debris under a gorse bush
These are long-legged lizards, and they play rough. They either have an unquashable beef, or it was some kind of foreplay. As you can see, they run upright.
This creature was crossing my kitchen floor in the early hours of 7 January 2023. We met when I got up to make a hot drink. Haven't seen a lizard in the house for ages. The lizard walked as I do sometimes after a few tinctures!
Common lizard (Lacerta vivipara) on boardwalk. Thursley Common, Surrey, UK.
I know common lizards come in a variety of colours but I'd never seen one quite this tint of aquamarine before. A mixed palette of these creatures were sprawled out all along the boardwalk as usual. They moved for no man (only dogs).
This lizard was new to me -- I've lived here 25 years, and have never seen this lizard before! No idea what type/species it is.
The photo makes him appear a bit lighter than he was, which was more of a dark, charcoal gray color, with amazing blue and green Iridescence on his underside (just visible in this photo, under his front right arm.) I love the orange ridge above his eye and under his throat.
It was tempting to pick him up to have a closer look, but not knowing if they bite...
