Common or Viviparous Lizard - Lacerta vivipara / Zootoca vivipara - Native

Well done on the rescue :o)

Thanks TT, the newts seem to wander quite far for their size as they are sometimes found in neighbours garage!

I love a happy ending,so glad it was ok,how frightened it must have been..and glad you were able to go to bed Lol.

Thanks Bloomer

Good one Drc,obviously the cat hasn`t heard about protected species.LOL....

My neighbours has 5 cats and they are at work all day and leave the cats out so I would say neither has she Linclass lol

That's really sad for the cats, don't why people have them when they're out at work all day. Mine is perched on the computer table, obviously it's feeding time. Subtle hint from her !

I agree Shirley they come and sit with me when I garden but its the cold and wet they hate. They line up on the front door step to greet them when they come home.

They could put a cat-flap in a shed or garage door for them ! At least there'd be shelter from the elements.

Well done on the rescue.

I hate it as well Shirley tulip I have two cats and could not leave them out,pleased you saved the newt Drc726.

is it a newt or a lizard... my cats used to bring lizards home which looked like this... from the fields....id take them back and let them go....

Thanks Hollyeves I have just looked it up and its a Common or Viviparous Lizard - Lacerta vivipara / Zootoca vivipara - Native to UK. Which explains why it seemed so big.
Says a lot for phobias - I thought I was scared of Lizard? but because I thought it was a newt I had no problem carrying it!!!!!!! Because the neighbour has brought me newts before I didnt give it a thought.

So one good thing has come out of another ...phobia cured then ?
Next time you see a Lizard..think Newt.:o))

I will B

Fantastic job! Well done! I love lizards, newts, frogs and toads....they are fascinating creatures!

well done glad you managed to save it Drc, i love them,, not seen any here as yet

I'm so glad you rescued it. I wish we had them here.
