Lizards in Georgia

While not having the diversity of its neighbor Florida when it comes to lizards, there are still many of them in Georgia.

Though the Argentine Black-and-white tegu has occasionally crossed over from Florida, it hasn’t established a population in Georgia yet. Residents are being asked to report them to the proper authorities, as they risk causing harm to native species.
