Lizard Point in Cornwall is at the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula. It is situated half-a-mile south of Lizard village in the civil parish of Landewednack and about 11 miles southeast of Helston
This lizard was seen at the Wakodahatchhe Wetlands near Delray Beach, FL on Sep 19, 2007. Not very common to see these guys. This one from nose to tail was about 2 feet. Also know as the "Jesus Christ" lizard because of it's ability to run on top of the water.
I saw this painting on the driver's side of the windshield of a parked car. I don't know how the owner can drive with the lizard right in front of him, but I sure do like his artwork.
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....

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.

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!
Lizard at Ourimbah. There were 3 of these small lizards that crept out of the undergrowth and basked in the sun, darting away when I approached. A juvenile of something bigger maybe or more likely a large-ish skink? This one looked quite mature with scars and parasites. Acritoscincus (was Bassiana) duperreyi? Bold stripes with spots.
It's certainly a skink. If it is Acritoscincus/Bassiana then it's not uncommon in SE Australia but it is an interesting lizard on a number of levels. Aussie skinks didn't suffer the Ice Age cold quite like their northern cousins and whilst they did form isolated populations quite recently and have differentiated they still bear much older genetic traits that make them of interest.
Bassiana duperreyi in particular has been studied because of its "extraembryonic membrane development" which seems to be significant for the evolution of placentation (ie mammalian development). These skinks are oviparous but some (particularly northern Australian) skinks bear live young. Studies show that sex in this species depends not just on random sex chromosome distribution but also by egg size, incubation temperatures and yolk allocation (and that's quite fascinating!).
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 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...
