Yo I'm Ivel, a Spanish derg who likes lizards, videogames and worldbuilding. My interests are quite varied and are often a mess but I particularly enjoy videogames and storytelling! I occasionally draw as well.

A small nocturnal species from the Colorado Desert! They use small burrows for cover. They coincidentally look pretty similar to other dark-spotted species such as leopard geckos, although they are not related to them by any means!

These little Australian guys owe their name to their bulbous tail! They can make a barking sound as a defensive call. During the day, they form aggregations in their retreat sites to stay warmer, as shade in the desert can still be cold.

A Mexican and Texan species! They have funky yellow and black patterns on their bodies! They exclusively inhabit rocky areas and are endangered due to climate change.

Merry Christmas! These little guys know how to be jolly with these colors. They're endemic to Indian and Sri Lankan forests, being excellent climbers. Due to their size and weight, they can even climb on the thinnest of branches!

Yes, they can glide! These arboreal fellas have skin flaps on their limbs that help them glide on the air as they jump from tree to tree. They are nocturnal and feature a wood-like coloration.

A slender species from Southeast Asia! I love lizards that look like they've got eyeliner on, it's extra style points! Their habitat range is being reduced due to the introduction of garden lizards, which are very territorial.

An endemic species from the Galapagos Islands! They have firey red and orange patterns! Española Island is an important environment for several animal species, but the ecosystem is rapidly declining as it gets more barren by the day.

The largest extant gecko species! Their size is derived from the evolutionary phenomenon called island gigantism, where smaller species become bigger and bigger species become smaller. They're omnivorous!

An East African species! They have an unique brown and green coloration with some teal spots! They're diurnal and semi-arboreal, and are mostly preyed on by vipers.

WHAT'S THIS AWFUL NAME they're just an endemic to the Isla El Muerto in Baja California 😭 Their main food source are isopods, which is quite unique for lizards!

Bit of a sneak here— but it's lizardish enough! It's not considered a lizard nor a living fossil per se, it's a member from a mostly extinct order, but are still related to lizards and snakes. Their name means "peaks on the back" and they are SO CUTE!

Even the most common fellas deserve a shout-out! They're all over European and North African Mediterranean countries, with some populations in the Middle East near the Red Sea. They can change colors from light brown to green and vice versa.

A critically endangered species from the Galapagos Islands! It's native to the Wolf Volcano perimeter in the Isabella Island. Its endangered status is due to the introduction of cats to the island alongside rats, who eat their eggs.

The southernmost lizard species in the world, located in Patagonia and Isla del Fuego! It's an omnivorous species. Individuals' markings can come in several colors, ranging from yellow and orange hues to green ones!

A species from the islands of the Aegean Sea! This species' unique trait are the different combinations of colors and patterns of its members! They choose their habitat based on their colors so that they can sneak better in it!

An Australian species! They owe their name to their behavior, which is similar to chameleons: they move rather slowly, lay their eggs in burrows and hang out in low level vegetation. They mostly feed on ants!

A small species from the Virgin Islands! Males have orange colored heads. They are inhabit forests, preferring cooler environments, as they can dehydrate easily due to their size. Their young offspring are most affected by this problem.

A Madagascan species! They have the largest scales out of all geckos, which they can shed as a distraction to avoid predators. They're nocturnal, arboreal and insectivorous.

An Indian species with functional eyelids! They show a similar pattern to common leopard geckos, although their body is covered by several black sections. They can shed their tail!

A species from the Bahamas! They're not as territorial when compared to similar species. Individuals from Allen's Cay used to be twice as large, but lack of food affected their size, which is now 75cm in length.

A species from New Zealand! They have an unique striped pattern that differentiate them from other geckos! They are also viviparous and have a low reproductive rate, giving birth to up to 2 young per year!

An Indian species! They can't dig burrows on their own, but they can bury themselves under the sand! Their fingers have pointy scales, mimicking claws. They prey on insects and smaller lizards.
