Lizards when outside tend to hide outside in and around raised garden beds, in weeds, brush, behind sheds, benches, under sheds, under leafs etc.
Inside lizards tend to hide behind furniture and behind cupboards.
Lizards bite and will bite when they feel threatened as a means of self defense.
Most bites from lizards occur when people try to catch the lizards in their hands or try to remove them from yards or homes.
Lizards do remember you after they've been around you for awhile as lizards have a good ability to recognize people.
Lizards can see humans and other things around them as lizards can see just as good and even sometimes better than humans.
Lizards can hear you and most lizards also have very good auditory sensitivity over a range from 100 hertz to 4,000 hertz but most lizards also have relatively poor hearing for lower and higher tones.
