Ive been wanting to get a lizard as a pet but don't know if I can care for one, can you tell me a bit about them? 
You'd have to decide how big of a lizard you want first. They range in size from a few cm to 3 meters long.
Yes thats true, I guess i might go with a smaller one, What kind of lizard species should I get for a pet, whats the best kind? 
Well I'm not sure. There are over 6000 species across all the continents.
Wow that is a lot of lizards haha, Do you happen to know how long lizards generally live for? is it a long time? 
I'm really not sure. I guess it depends on the lizard. There are also some legless lizards that have snake-like bodies.
A legless lizard! Can you tell me what those are
It''s known as American legless lizard from the family Anniellidae.
