What is spanish lizards?

Spanish lizards, also known as Iberian lizards, are a group of reptiles native to the Iberian Peninsula, which includes Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and Gibraltar. There are several species of Spanish lizards, including the Iberian wall lizard, Iberian rock lizard, and Spanish psammodromus.

Spanish lizards are known for their colorful and intricate patterns, which serve as camouflage from predators. They are generally small to medium-sized, with smooth, shiny scales and long tails that they use for balance and communication.

Spanish lizards are often found in rocky or forested areas, where they can hide and bask in the sun. They are primarily active during the day, feeding on insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. They reproduce by laying eggs, which are buried in the ground or hidden in a crevice.

Some species of Spanish lizards, such as the Iberian wall lizard, are popular pets due to their docile nature and easy care. However, it is important to note that wild caught lizards can be stressed and carry diseases, so it is best to obtain captive bred animals from reputable breeders.
