Posted: 14 Aug 2005 Topic: Lizard, weird orange vein?



In the garden the other day,under a sandbag that was laying around,was a lizard of soem sort,so i picked it up,and put it in a tank(the tanks massive,and has everything it needs) .
Then yesterday i found another one,about 5 metres from where i found the last.
So that went in the tank to,they're the same species of course.
But i still dont know much about lizards,and i cant identify it..... its like a breed between a common lizard,a sandlizard and a crested newt or something.
They are only babys,2-4 weeks old.
It's a light brown colour,has 2 thick black stripes on its back,then a little black stripe,its underside has a weird 2mm thick line of birght orange....
Can you indentify it please? (i live in south wales BTW)

 -thanks.

Posted: 15 Aug 2005 Topic: Adders,newts and toads.



In my back garden,quite  a while back,i was standing on top of my shed fixing the roof,and i looked down the side of it,nearest the wall,and i seen an ader,or something that looked like an adder.
Every night there are at least 7 toads out,and usually 1 bat...lol.
Also ,as you already know,ive found 2 newts so far out there.
Any idea why all these are in my garden :/
(also a squirel climbed up the wall next to my house,and up the rendered wall,and sat on my window........Wtf?)
thanks.
