The answer is no, because lizards are cold-blooded creatures.
Lizards do not have specialized organs for storing body heat like mammals do (fur). Their skin also lacks insulation and they don’t spend time in the sun to generate their own warmth. This means that during winter or when it’s too cool outside, a lizard can die of exposure if it doesn’t find warm shelter.*
“It’s not to say that lizards don’t hibernate at all, because there are some species of lizard in the world that do have a freeze response,” says McGee. “But for most lizards it’s very difficult.”*
Lizard Questions:
What do Lizards eat?
Do they ever get thirsty?
Why do their tongues flick out so much when they’re hungry or exploring something new?
How long can you keep them without food and water? (no answer)
Where does saliva come from? (no answer)
The chew marks on your plants definitely aren’t coming from deer.* Deer generally browse only bushes
and low-hanging fruit, so they’d never chew on the heavy leaves of a tomato plant.

What do lizards eat?
Mostly insects or spiders. Sometimes they will also eat other small animals like baby birds! They like to hang out on the ground a lot because that is where most of their food hangs out too!”
In this content section you can see what kind of things would go into answering some common lizard related questions: “Where does saliva go when they sleep?” and “Why do some lizards have so many spikes on their backs?”. Here are some answers we might give for those two questions:
“Lizard’s saliva turns into foam in order to keep them floating” – “When sleeping, the lizard’s
Lizards are cold-blooded vertebrates. They do not produce their own body heat, so they depend on the temperature of their environment to keep them warm or cool off as necessary. This means that lizards often slow down and sleep during periods of particularly low temperatures, such as winter in colder climates (even though it’s still technically summer). These periods may even be more pronounced if there is less vegetation available for lizards to hide among. However, this does NOT mean that a lizard will hibernate like mammals do! In fact, some species never enter into these resting phases at all!
