Varanidae

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

To this group belong the true monitors, the true monitors, the true giants among lizards. The largest living lizard is Varanus komodoensis, the Komodo dragon of Indonesia, while Varanus salvator may be as long, if not as heavy. At the other extreme are Varanus brevicauda and V. gilleni, both of Australia and both under a foot in length. In all monitors there are four powerful limbs equipped with five sharp claws. The eyelids are present and the ear is exposed. The snout and neck are long, as are the teeth. The tongue is long, bifid, and protrusible.

Lanthanotus

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

This acts in the same manner that a snake would, only slower. It is also a fossorial form, having been found underground as often as in water. These lizards are nocturnal beasts, but even then they move very little. Although the eyelids are functional, the lizard almost always elects to view his world through the spectacle in the lower eyelid. The tail appears segmented and is somewhat prehensile; whether or not Lanthanotus climbs is unknown. The color is reddish brown above, while below it is mottled pale orange and yellow.

Friday, October 7th, 2011

With the exception of two genera, this is a New World group.

Osteoderms are usually present, as are autotomy planes. Tongue long, slightly bifid. Similar to the skinks except (mainly) for these points: secondary palate absent; parasternum absent; tongue not broad. Premaxillary single. Occipital bone universal.

Lacerta

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

The typical lizards, whose family name means as much (lacerta is Latin for lizard). The lizards are an Old World family, being particularly abundant in Europe and Africa. Takydromus sexlineatus extends eastward into Southeast Asia. All the genera have limbs. The upper temporal fossa is roofed over or else greatly reduced. Osteoderms may occur on the head. The power of autotomy is present. Teeth hollow at the base. There are about twenty recognized genera.

Takydromus has a typical lacertilian body, but the tail may be several times the length of the head and body. Acanthodactylus has fringes on the toes to help it maneuver in the deserts of Africa and Arabia where it leaves.

Skinks

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Easily the largest lizard family in numbers, species, and range, skinks occur everywhere a lizard can, except in the sea. Skinks are unique among lizards in having a secondary palate. Osteoderms are present. Frontal bones distinct except in the Feylininae; this subfamily (often considered a full family, Feyliniidae) also lacks the jugal bone and is viviparous or oviparous. Skinks have movable eyelids, except for Ablepharis, which has a clear spectacle. In addition, the lizards formerly classified as the full family Feyliniidae are now included in the Scincidae by most herpetologists; this group includes forms lacking both functional eyes and eyelids. Ear openings are usually present, as is the power of autotomy. The scales are usually smooth.

Anniella Pulchra: A Diminutive Burrower

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

This small family has not yet been seriously allied with any other group, so it maintains the distinctiveness of its own family status. There are but two species, one with two subspecies, found only in California and Baja California. They are limbless lizards lacking an external ear but possessing eyelids and functional eyes. They are very thin bodied, and a giant may be nine inches long. The upper temporal arch is absent. Osteoderms reduced, the scales smooth and subequal. The head is conical, the upper jaw extending far beyond the lower. The tongue is smooth, dark, bifid, and protrusible. Columella cranii absent.

Teeth few, large, recurved, resembling those of Heloderma. The taxa are as follows: silvery legless lizard, Anniella pulchra pulchra; black legless lizard, A. pulchra nigra; and Geronimo legless lizard, A. geronimensis.

These lizards are fossorial and prefer loose soil near moisture, such as beaches. They feed on small invertebrae animals including earthworms. The species are known to be viviparous.

Helodermatidae

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Eyelids well developed. Ear exposed. Limbs well developed, pentadactyl, bearing strong claws. Head blunt. The body is stocky and bulky, the tail thick and short. Osteoderms are present. The lower teeth are grooved and venom glands are located in the posterior section of the lower jaw. The scales are non-overlapping, looking like Indian beadwork. The two species are oviparous and are confined to Arizona and western coastal Mexico. These are the only venomous lizards.

The exact nature of the venom is not well known. It is apparently neurotoxic, causing paralysis, but a lethal dosage has not been universally agreed upon. Human fatalities have been few and were probably not attributable solely to the lizard, as the victims were usually well intoxicated by alcohol. In at least one death the nature of the victim, being juvenile, probably didn’t help.

Sub-order Haemosporidia

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Analogous to the well-known malaria parasite of man there are blood parasites in other mammalians, birds and reptiles. Most of the intermediate transmitting hosts are arthropods. Haemoproteus tarentolae Riding occurs in the erythrocytes of geckos; H.metchnikovi Simond in the tortoise Chitra indica Gray. Similar types are listed by Reichenow (1953).

Dangerous Lizards

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

While it is true that any lizard caught by hand is likely to bite, only a very few are likely to cause any real harm. Certain large lizards, those over two feet long, may bite hard enough to draw blood, but only two feet long, may bite hard enough to draw blood, but only two species are venomous out of the numerous species of known lizards. These are the Gila monster and the beaded lizard (Heloderma suspectum and H. horridum, respectively) of the southwestern United States and western Mexico. Both are thick bodied, blunt headed, and stout tailed. All but one subspecies are mottled orange or yellow and black; the other form, from lower Mexico, is solid black. The only venomous lizard in the United States, the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) is now protected by law in the few areas it occurs.
