aying eggs is a common trait found in birds, insects, and some reptiles. A lot of animals reproduce by laying eggs, but have you ever wondered if lizards lay eggs? Interestingly, all species of birds will lay eggs, but that is not true for the different lizard species.
There are more than 6,000 lizard species, and most of them are egg-laying. Still, some are able to have a live birth. The number of eggs produced by a female will depend on the species of lizard. Females will try to choose the best male to have the most successful clutch.
Lizards reproduce by laying eggs, but species who give live births have a better chance of their young surviving. Eggs can be preyed on by predators like snakes, so lizards do their best to prevent their eggs from being destroyed. Let’s go over how lizards lay eggs and some interesting facts about different species’ reproduction processes.

Around 90% of lizard species lay eggs to reproduce, but before eggs are laid lizards must first mate. Lizards will reproduce sexually when a male and female mate, but some species are able to reproduce asexually. Only around 50 lizards are able to produce with only one member, and the rest will usually mate with each other to breed.
