In Colombia many people call them lagartas. The feminine. Lagarto is sometimes interchangeable with aligator for cayman.

Salamanders are amphibians, I think- like frogs and newts.

let's make it easy. the little lizards have dry scaly skin like snakes and geccos and salamanders are slimy skinned.

My wife hates them. I like to occasionally put one one her side of the bed or in the shower. To date she hasn't figured out that it's me doing it.

Totally agree, best little things you can have running around the house.

Just another funny coloured Geckos. They exist everywhere, all over the world in tropical and semi tropical climates.

I am cursed cuz I killed one in Florida once with my Cowboy boot when i panicked. Still feel guilty over that. Needed 8 hail Mary's AND IT DIDN'T HELP MUCH.
