Alligator Lizard refers to lizards of the genus Elgaria, Gerrhonotus, and Abronia that are commonly referred to as alligator lizards, due to a vague resemblance to the alligator. Elgaria and Gerrhonotus are a closely related genus of anguid lizards found in the Pacific Coast and Southwestern United States, into Northern and Central Mexico. Abronia, also known as Arboreal Alligator Lizards, belongs to the family of Anguidae and are found in Central to northeastern South America. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of Alligator Lizards.
