Lizards


What should lizards be doing in winter?

Quick answer
Hibernating out of harms way while it's very cold.

Further information
Lizards spend the winter tucked away to avoid the cold weather. They may choose places like compost heaps, log piles and rockeries in order to do this.

Like all reptiles, a lizard's behaviour is very much dependent on the weather so don't be surprised if they're not doing what they're 'supposed' to! You may well see lizards emerging in January/February if it's mild.
