The Plumed Basilisk of Central America and holds the record for the fastest lizard. Second is Crotaphytus c. collaris (Eastern Collared Lizard). Frilleds put on a big display, but in reality, they're relatively slow (still fast, but relatively slow).

Geckos can climb very smooth surfaces, including glass, due to the texturing on their fingers.
Can komodo dragons live in the US?
yes,they could probably live in florida or in the states that border the gulf of mexico like texas and luisiana.
Well, it's hard to get a pet that doesn't spend more than $30 at the vet, however, I suggest a bird or cat. You'd only have to feed them little per day. They're also easy to clean up after.
What is a balanced diet for bearded dragons and what ingredients are used and why?
Bearded Dragons are omnivores - requiring a diet of insects and plants-based food. Juveniles tend to eat smaller insects such as crickets. Adults will eat larger insects such as locusts, superworms, wax-worms and grasshoppers. Bearded dragons also eat increasing amounts of plant based food as they grow... Adults should have a diet consisting of more than 60% plant matter - the most important of which is leafy greens.
Are blue bellied lizards venomous?
No, blue bellied lizards (aka Western fence lizards) are not venomous.
What are the characteristic of lizard?
Typically, a long slender body with a medium - long tail. The tails are prehensile, meaning their tails act as a 5th limb. or in other cases, the tails are used for storing fats. Most gecko species are equipped with 5 nails allowing them to scale rocky surfaces and or trees. In other cases, they have the ability to scale a vertical surface with sticky pads on their feet, known as lamalee. Most range from 6-12 inches in length (with tail) and weigh from 5Grams - 700Grams depending on species. Most geckos have a strong jaw for crunching down in the exo skeleton of insects. Most geckos are very bright in color and they are the only reptile specie able to vocalize for multiple purposes: Mating, threats, socializing etc..
Is the Komodo dragon the only dragon in the world?
Well, it is technically not a Dragon, the name just says 'Dragon' in it because the Komodo Dragon is one of the larger reptiles on Earth.
The Komodo dragon is the largest monitor lizard species, but is smaller than crocodiles and alligators, and many large snakes such as pythons and anacondas.
Komodo "Dragons" are not really dragons at all. They're just hyperbolically-named lizards.

What advantage is their in having eggs with a leather shell?
the advantage of having a leather shell:
-protects the egg
-Some leathery eggs also have calcium carbonate but much more protein than the average bird egg. This protein is typically keratin, which is the same type of protein that makes up human hair and fingernails.
-Leathery eggshells do not necessarily have calcium carbonate. Some types of eggshells have little or no calcium in them at all, and instead are composed primarily of proteins. They may have other substances, such as lipids or some other mineral, as part of their makeup to ensure a solid, flexible shell.
-Tough, leathery eggs are generally very similar to hard eggs in structure, but the shell has some differences in its composition. Specifically, hard-shelled bird eggs tend to be a mix of calcium carbonate and protein. The protein helps make the shell smooth and holds it together, while the calcium carbonate gives it its hardness.
