Attracting lizards to your garden
Greg Roughan - Green Ideas editor
New Zealand has geckos with baggy, velvety skin and broad heads and skinks with sleek, smooth skin (as pictured). They look like small snakes with legs.
Lizards help scatter the seeds of some of our native plants and may also pollinate their flowers, so are great little creatures to have in your garden. They will love your backyard if they have food and shelter.
