WALL LIZARD

The Latin name for this lizard is Podarcis muralis.

This is a medium sized lizard with a total body length of up to 20cm, though usually less. It is usually some shade of brownish-grey, mottled and striped with darker and lighter markings. This lizard tends to have a larger head and legs compared to the Common lizard.

It lays eggs rather than bearing live young and most commonly lives in holes in walls and banks.
