This sounds like a skink lizard best not to put him with you Birded as he might get bitten best to let it go i have two birdies and 3 blue tongues and they are all together and get along fine because they the same age and blues are a docile lizard . let him go hes better of on his own .
Reply:yeah sure if you want to kill it
Reply:picture would help.
Reply:Did you catch it with a Pokéball?
Reply:Does it have a blue-belly? If it does it is just the common Fence lizard. Regardless of the species, I wouldnt put it with your other lizard just incase it has any disease or paracites. Hope I helped.
Reply:Erm.. dont' put it with your bearded dragon unless they are similar sizes.





It may also be an ANOLE if it's got a pointy head and it's brown. Put it on green and if it changes color, it's an anole.
Reply:I would keep them separate,and then take the new one to the pet store maybe they can help identify it and give you further advice!!
Reply:dont know where you live to identify species, but would not be a good idea. It mite be poisonous to your dragon or visa versa. Leave him where you found him, he mite have a family out there. good luck.
Reply:You should let it go before it dies. Your bearded dragon would eat it or get parasites from it. Wild animals have parasite that can be passed on to pets.
Reply:no no and no do not add it to your beardie. most likely he wont be alive in the morning part of a beardies natural diet is other lizards. I am assuming the beardie is bigger if not you have the other issue of cross contamination of both viral and bacterial. any time you add a wild cought animal to a captive bred animal you potentialy put one or both at risk for death. taking a wild animal and keeping it is not the best of ideas. although people do it.
Reply:NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!


firstly, most wild reptiles have parrasites.





If you want to keep it quarintine it, find out what it is. if it's legal to keep, if yes get info on it, take it to a vet for a checkup. if not let it go
