Diet: These girls are insectivorous 

Behavior: These lizards are durnial. They are full of energy and they are solitary

Reproduction: This is why this lizard is interesting. There are no males in this species. These animals reproduce by parthenogenesis. But there is a reason we call them the lesbian lizard. These lesbians can't lay eggs till they mate. Meaning only a female mounting another can help he ovulate. She lays up to 3-5 eggs

Relationship with other animals: This animal is quick to escape predators, usually birds of prey. 



I have no jokes, as I have no friends who happen to be lesbians.
