Georgia’s lizards in one guide
This page gathers every lizard in the atlas — Darevskia rock lizards, meadow lacertids, and limbless forms like the glass lizard — and sends you to detailed profiles.
Rock lizards are hard to separate — colour, scalation, and region matter. Pick a species here or open the regional atlas if you know the place.
Catalog
29 lizards in the atlas

Caucasian Darevskia is especially rich. Colour is not enough — region and traits are on each profile. Regional maps are still empty for many taxa.
Other lizards — 11
Lacertids, skinks, geckos, and other non-Darevskia species from the checklist.

FAQ
What people ask about lizards
Short answers — depth lives on species pages.
The atlas gathers checklist- and source-supported lizard profiles. Darevskia is especially rich in the Caucasus — start from this catalog.
The European glass lizard (Pseudopus apodus) is a long limbless lizard, not a snake. The comparison with the slow worm and water snakes is in a dedicated guide.
Many Darevskia species look similar. Use region, habitat, and identification traits — not colour alone.
Rocks, xeric slopes, forest edges, and meadows. Regional pages show local lists.
No — lizards in this atlas are not venomous to people. A Caspian gecko on a house wall is harmless; do not kill it. Venom risk here concerns some snakes, not lizards.
