Probably because so many other animals prey on lizards and their eggs. Producing large clutches ensures a higher survival rate.

Reptiles tend not to be that good at parenting, so many of their young never make it into adulthood.

How many babies can an armadillo lizard have?

Actually, I was just looking around to see how many babies Alligator lizards usually have and I ran across this page. I have several Alligator lizards and one of them has just given birth to 3 LIVE lizards... so far. They came out 1 at a time, each in their own little slimy sack and after a few minutes wiggled their way out and are now running around the cage. So... not all lizards lay eggs, contrary to popular belief. These lizards are native to western Wa, I don't know about any of the other breeds of Aligator lizards from other areas.
