I live in Florida and we have so many lizards! 
I know, I live in Florida too! Of course lizards can vary a lot in size from chameleons to geckos.
Yes, in my yard I have everything from the little common lizards, to iguanas, to basilisks! I wonder why lizards thrive in Florida? What do they eat?
Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often been seen-and-wait predators.
Oh really?! I didn't know that! Are all lizards reptiles?
Lizard
Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 6,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group is paraphyletic as it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia; some lizards are more closely related to these two excluded groups than they are to other lizards. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3 meter long Komodo dragon.
Most lizards are quadrupedal, running with a strong side-to-side motion. Others are
. They are called 'spectacled' because of their transparent lower eyelids, so they can still see with closed eyes. Like most lizards, but unlike geckos, these eyelids are movable. Spectacled lizards are related to the Teiidae, but they look like skinks with smooth scales. They are generally small lizards; many species have reduced limbs. Gymnophthalmids live in a wide variety of habitats, from desert to mountain to rain forest, throughout Central America and South America. They are usually inhabitants of the forest floor or wet areas
