My daughter found some sort of lizard in our garden, under a flower basket. I've attached two photos taken with my mobile, the 2nd shows a 5p piece for scale.
First of all, I guess we'd like to know what it is. My daughter is keen to keep it, so if it's endangered or toxic or whatever, I'd like to know what care we need to take or whether we should simply release it, or get in touch with a conservation organisation.
She's kept a fire salamander before and her mum has kept Australian tree frogs so they aren't complete strangers to this sort of pet.
Any help much appreciated.
