I found a common lizard on my kitchen floor a couple of days ago!  It's about 2 inches long.  Not sure what to do with it - where should I release it?

I do have a cat, but It appears to have come on of its own accord!!

Hi Tony,

It has no spots, just plain orange so I guess it's female.  I'm now really interested in lizards - I have always liked snakes but my husband doesn't so maybe lizards are the way to go!  I will look at Dave Bird's photo's. Thankyou!!

Hi Tony,

We let the lizard go free, and are now the proud owners of a Leopard Gecko, about 6 weeks old.  Our 2 sons have named her Lizzie.  I think we may get her a friend!

Hi Tony,

It's good to know you know about Leopard Gecko's.  What is the correct temperature for day time?  The Reptile Centre say 82 - 84 degrees F, we have it at 82 degrees F,, Two sites I looked at say 85-95, and 85-90 degrees F.  Night time we have set at 84 Degree D like the Centre advised.

We want to be sure we get it right.

Alan,

Many thanks for the advice!!  Will certainly post a pic, I'll let her settle in first though, then she might strike a pose!!

The pictures are lovely!!  Lizzie looks more like the bottom picture, she is stripey too.  I'll wait until she's settled in a bit first before I take any pictures, I don't want to scare her!  We said today actually that in a while we might just have to get something else, monitors are lovely, we also both like chameleons.  We'll get used to Lizzie first and then do a bit of research!
