Tips on how to find them: Lizards are small and are well-camouflaged against mosses and grass, so look carefully and scan potential areas; search between March and October, when the lizards aren’t hibernating underground; going on a sunny morning may yield sightings, as the animals bask in the sun to warm up before hunting.
