To pick up a sleepy lizard start by gently holding the lizard and then lift the lizard from behind it's head gently and support the lizards legs so that it feels connected to something solid.

This will help the lizard feel more comfortable.

You can befriend a lizard and most lizards are actually very affectionate and some like to sit on humans and cuddle as well.

Some lizards can also become lap lizards but other lizards can be aggressive and unfriendly but it depends on the type of lizard.

Most lizards do have to mate to lay eggs expect for the species of lizard called obligate parthenogenesis which can reproduce without a mate.

Most reptiles and lizards require a male to allow them to lay eggs.

It is good luck to have a lizard in your house.

Lizards are believed to represent good luck and prosperity in Hinduism.

Seeing a lizard in a house is often considered a sign of good fortune and is believed to bring wealth and happiness to the household.

And in some African cultures, lizards are believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.

Lizard droppings look like a pellet with a white ball at one end and lizards will poop and urinate from one hole that is called the Cloaca and Lizard poop is usually medium in length.

Most lizards are not poisonous and are usually not harmful to humans although there are certain species of lizards that are poisonous and venomous and quite aggressive.

Certain lizards can kill, make ill and maim or at least inflict some mild levels of pain on humans.

A venomous or poisonous lizard is the Gila monster lizard which is a species of lizard that is native to the Southwestern United States and the Northwestern Mexican Stage of Sonora.

The Gila monster and the Mexican beaded lizard are two types of poisonous (venomous) lizards found in North America.

These large, thick-bodied lizards have short, stubby limbs.

They live in desert regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

Lizards refer to all squamate reptiles other than snakes, encompassing over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains.

The grouping is paraphyletic as some lizards are more closely related to snakes than they are to other lizards.

The natural habitat of lizards ranges from tropical rain forests and jungles to parched and arid areas of the world.

Many factors influence your lizard's health and well-being such as light, heat, humidity, stress, nutrition, and hydration.

Lizards actually can be quite affectionate.

Many appear to enjoy cuddling or sitting on their humans, and some even become lap lizards.

However, some of these tiny dinosaurs only feel comfortable being handled or petted by their owners.

Don't expect too much from a strange reptile.

Lizards often enjoy hanging out in small or covered spaces.

Look under any couches, chairs, desks, bookshelves, or tables in the room.

Closets, vents, baseboards, cushions, and potted plants are also popular places for lizards to hide.

Lifespans of the most recommended lizards can range from 10 to 30 years.

You will have to decide if you are willing to commit to caring for this animal for a long period as it will probably be around for many years to come.
