If it doesn't have limbs and does not have movable eyelids it is a type of legless lizard. If it does have eyelids it may be a type of skink.

If it has limbs, and in daylight the pupil is not a vertical slit and the scales on its head and neck overlap and it has large, shield- like scales on the top of its head it is probably a type of skink.

If it has limbs, the pupil is not a slit in daylight and the scales on the top of it's head are tiny and irregular, a long, slender, deeply forked tongue that flicks in and out it is probably a type of monitor.

If it has all these features but its tongue is broad and flat and only seen when its owner eats or drinks, it is most probably a type of dragon.

If it has limbs, a vertical slit for a pupil in daylight and the scales on the head and neck lie side to side, it is likely to be a gecko.

How do lizards eat their food?

Lizards swallow food. They do not chew. Komodo dragons (up to eight feet long) ambush their prey, tear off large chunks of flesh (deer and large pigs) and swallow it whole. Sometimes it takes them 15-20 minutes to swallow small mammals, up to the size of a goat, whole. Green iguanas are primarily herbivores, consuming insects as a by-product.

Lizards have ear slits and eyelids. Snakes do not. Glass lizards, while having no feet, do have ear slits and eyelids. That makes them a lizard rather than a snake.Not all lizards have ear slits (genus cophosaurus). Not all lizards have eyelids (infraorder gekkota excluding the genus eublepharinae). Glass lizards, however, have both these parts.

How do lizard eat food?

Insectivores will either eat their prey whole, or rip it apart depending on the size of the prey and the species of lizard. Meat-eating lizards such as monitors will hunt their prey and rip apart the animal. Lizards that eat fruits and vegetables will swallow some whole, and rip others apart. It also depends on whether or not it's captive or wild.
