We just wanted to let you know 🤷‍♀️ If you're after more exciting information than "common lizards are good", please read on for some important facts about them... 🧪 also known as 'viviparous' lizards 🧱 most frequently seen on commons, heaths, moorland, dry stone walls and embankments ☘️ the only species of reptile native to Ireland 📏 roughly 15cm from nose to tail 🌈 generally brown, but variants aren't uncommon - they can range from green to yellow to black! 🥚 they incubate their eggs internally, then 'give birth' to live young! 🕷️ mostly eat spiders and insects 🚫 if threatened, a common lizard may drop off its still-moving tail to distract a predator while they make a run for it!
