Occasionally changeable lizards also consume vegetable matter. Many gardeners have also been referring to this lizard as a gecko even before the advent of memorable commercials on television. It has been introduced to Brunei, Celebes, Oman, Seychelles, Singapore and United States. The Oriental Garden Lizard is a widespread species of Asian lizard. However, their skin – like all reptiles – is actually very dry due to a lack of pores to excrete water and oils. There are more than 5600 species of lizards found on Earth. From thirty-nine to forty-three series of scales round the middle of the trunk.
So prey is swallowed whole, after it is stunned by shaking it about. I have some bright blue and pink garden ornaments, and I can't even tell that the lizards are on them until I get up close. I have cats that hang around my flower garden, and I have seen them out there swatting at lizards before.
I have seen them on the soil, where they appeared brown, yet when they are hiding in my carport, they are as gray as the concrete.
