Topic: Common Lizard Identification & Sightings
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? Trish |

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

By the way, it has on orange belly - is it male? Trish |

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!! Trish |

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! Trish |

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. Trish |

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!!

Topic: Leopard Go Pics for Trish
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!
