What do lizards eat?
Because
there are so many types of lizards, there's no standard lizard diet. Smaller
lizards like chameleons, geckos and anoles eat mostly insects like flies and
crickets. So, what do lizards eat besides flies and crickets? They also
eat other small creatures like snails, spiders and caterpillars.
For
example, bearded dragons are omnivorous. A good diet for a bearded dragon will
include plenty of leafy greens as well as crickets and even mice. Geckos like to
hunt down insects, but also love sweet fruits. One treat gecko owners have
discovered is baby food made from fruits. Iguanas require a wide variety of
vegetables, greens and fruits to have all of their nutritional needs met. This
makes them one of the more difficult lizard species to keep.

How do lizards breathe?
Lizards
breathe in the same way as all vertibrates do, via lungs. However, while
in motion, reptiles cannot breathe in the same manner that humans do. This is
because their spines (backbones) move from side to side, instead of up and
down
