There are some lizards that can be friendly to us. When I am in the old house, we usually see skink or 'al-alibut.' Of course, some locals are freaking out when seeing them. It is not venomous. So if being bitten, there is no need to worry. I took this photo in my old house before the pandemic.
Do you have like this creature at your place?
Do you love lizards?

I hope those kinds of lizards aren't found here in Santiago. I don't like them!

That's a big one 
! We get lizards but not as big as this guy. They are maybe not more than 5-6 inches (with the tail) . . . we have a few baby ones that hang out near the plants. I am not afraid of them - they are the ones that usually run away so quickly.

I am so friendly to them they no longer want to run away from me. I had one which waited patiently for me to open my door. When I did, it bolted its way into my house

This particular reptiles likes to live in medium wet place.. Sometimes the skin looks like a snake but very fast in running.. They can be found near the rocky streams and wells also in our place

We dont really have any around. But the cats catch them when they do show up. Only little ones when I do see them.

@Shavkat not this al-alibut, kabsat. the big salamander that tastes like chicken 'daw'. this small lizard, i think, is not edible.

I have little tiny lizards that come into my apartment and jump around my walls. I don't mind them since they eat any bugs around,
