Lizards
Quick answer
Simply by maintaining accessible,
reptile-friendly habitats - if they can get there, they probably
will at some point.
Futher information
Lizards, like all reptiles, need places to warm themselves,
places to forage for food and places to shelter and hibernate
in. They can often be found near compost heaps or amongst
rockeries or log piles. These are good places to
both shelter and forage in. Common lizards enjoy basking on
south-facing banks within easy reach of places to escape to
whereas slow-worms prefer to warm themselves under objects -
such as within compost heaps or under logs.
Whether you see reptiles in your garden depends largely on
whether they are in the local area and can access it in the
first place.
It is important to report your sightings to help build up local
and national records of these declining species. Get in touch
with the local Biological Records Centre and you local Amphibian
and Reptile Group (ARG) if you have seen slow-worms in your
garden.
