The three native lizard species in the UK are the Common Lizard (also known as the Viviparous Lizard), the Slow Worm which is a legless lizard often mistaken for a snake, and the Sand Lizard which is rarer and primarily found in sandy heathlands.
There is no specific legal requirement in the UK to notify your landlord if you acquire a pet lizard; however, it is important to check your tenancy agreement as many landlords have clauses regarding keeping pets. It's best to review your lease or ask your landlord directly as pet policies can vary.
Lizards are a subgroup within the larger reptile class, with over 6,000 species worldwide. Reptiles include six common types: lizards, snakes, turtles/tortoises, crocodilians, tuataras, and amphisbaenians (worm lizards).
In the UK, pet lizards can be purchased through specialist reptile centres and breeders, ensuring the lizard is legally sourced and cared for properly. For ethical purchasing and welfare, Pets4Homes is a recommended platform where you can find pet lizards for sale.
