Why is the Aeolian Wall Lizard endangered?

Investigations carried out in the Aeolian Islands (off north-east Sicily) during 1989–99 gathered evidence strongly indicating that the endemic Aeolian wall lizard

Podarcis raffonei

is close to extinction. Competitive exclusion by the lizard

Podarcis sicula

, which has been introduced by man, habitat degradation, and possibly reduced genetic variability and inbreeding, were the main causes for the decline of the species. For the Aeolian wall lizard to recover from its threatened status and to prevent further decimation of populations, collection and trade in the species should be prohibited, and an education programme for local people should be promoted. An integrated project involving habitat protection and captive breeding is needed to secure the species in the wild for the future.

What are some small lizard breeds that likes to be handled and held?

I find bearded dragons to be by far the best lizards for handling; unlike many lizards, they seem to actually enjoy attention from their keepers. Unfortunately, they may not fit your definition of 'small,' as they can attain a total length of about 2 feet and require large enclosures.

Next best would probably be a leopard gecko, which is smaller and easier to house. If handling is that important to you, then make sure to get an adult that has been socialized by its former keeper; I have found hatchlings to be a bit nippy.

Also, be sure to avoid tokay geckos, which are beautiful lizards but are almost always extremely aggressive.
