Night Lizard
| Night Lizards are small, live-bearing lizards. Contrary to the reproductive strategies of most small lizards, they have very low reproductive rates, giving birth to only one or two offspring, after a gestation period of about three months. They generally take several years to reach maturity. However, the very limited lifestyle of night lizards contributes to a high life expectancy. Click here to see another pic
