While most lizards lay eggs, the process is far from simple. Female lizards exhibit striking maternal instincts, going to great lengths to shield their young. During mating season, their bodies transform as they gear up to produce and bear eggs.
They select nesting sites with care, burying eggs in sand, soil, or foliage to control temperature and ensure protection. The mother scouts various spots for ideal conditions, weighing depth, humidity, and defense against predators. Some lizards stand guard over their nests, fending off threats and even fungal growth. Certain species stay with their eggs through incubation, stepping away only briefly to feed. This fierce dedication protects the embryos from perils like snakes and small mammals. Not all lizards linger with their eggs—some use other creatures’ nests for incubation. Gestation, depending on species and habitat, can range from months to a year. These diverse approaches reveal the incredible flexibility of lizards in securing their young’s survival.
