Lizards are cold-blooded reptiles belonging to the order Squamata, known for their scaly skin, elongated bodies, and ability to regenerate tails. They inhabit a variety of environments, including deserts, forests, and wetlands.
Lizards vary greatly in size, diet, and behavior, ranging from tiny geckos to large species like Komodo dragons. Many are insectivores or herbivores, while some are carnivorous.
As pets, popular species include bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and iguanas. They require proper heating, UV lighting, and a balanced diet. Depending on the species, lizards can live 5–20 years with proper care.
