Nocturnal Terrestrial Herbivorous Lizard...Do they exist?

[Thepythonman12]

Wunna see how this one turns out because the only thing coming to my head is a musk turtle but thats not a lizard .

You've got me stumped as well. I'm not entirely sure they exsist. I keep thinking of a few rock iguanas but I believe they're not nocturnal. When I think nocturnal lizard I think gecko. Though you are asking for a lizard to fit into 3 categorys I'm stumped If you come up with something please let me know.

Yeah it's a tough one...

I can come up with examples for about any other combination....but not this one.

The best I could do was the Solomon Island Prehensile Tail Skink...but as someone else mentioned, its arboreal...

Well that blows my therory out of the water, a nocturnal herbivorus lizard exists. But maybe that's why they are not common, plant food sources that provide essential nutrition for a nocurnal reptile might be hard to come by.

Yea good pick but theres always one thing that keeps 'em out. I think you maybe on to something with skinks. I was thinking about a blue tounge but I don't think their nocturnal.

A Leopard Gecko/Prehensile Tailed Skink Hybrid.

Think about it. Why would that exist. If it does its going to be extremely specialized and not a good pet at all. The problem, as was stated earlier, how do they get vitamin D and how do they keep from getting eaten.

Think about it.

I thought...

The same way Prehensile Tailed Skinks do...

how do they keep from getting eaten.

The same way MANY nocturnal terrestrial species do...

Yeah, skinks may be as close as it gets...

Pink Tongue Skinks are primarily nocturnal....but they are omnivorous. Close!
