Where's safe to put him?

[TwistedCherry]

Does anyone know what type of lizard this little guy is? I found him by chance in my communal area of my flat. He's very small and incredibly lucky no one has stood on him. I scooped him up and left him in the tub, don't worry, he is getting air.

I'm unsure where it is safe to let him go? Any suggestions?

in south of uk?

there are 2 native ones
sand lizard & common wall lizard

have a look if the cute guy matches.
both would like a dry-ish pile of rocks/bricks to hide.

if it's not one of those give a reptile pet shop in your area a call.

if he was easy to catch he's in need of tlc.
a little water would probably be a good idea

Looks like a newt to me. Find a nice damp place by a stream or pond and let him go there.

Call the rspca. They’ll give you the best advice.
