Lizards vary greatly in size. From the scaly-eyed gecko which can fit on the eraser of a pencil to the six-foot long killer Komodo dragon, it's pretty easy to say there is no standard cookie-cutter size for a "lizard."
it depends on the species

they can grow as big as they can get.

answer2 a) The bigger reptiles at present are such as crocodiles, alligators and Komodo Lizard. That would be in terms of weight.

b) Some of the larger snakes might be longer but would weigh less.

c) In ancient times they grew much much larger. consider the larger dinosaurs.

there is a great variation in lizard sizes. the biggest lizard is a komodo dragon, they can get up to 9.8 feet but are illegal to keep as pets unless you have a zoo license (because they are carnivorous, have toxic saliva and have been known to eat people). the smallest lizard is a Sphaerodactylus Ariasae, it is about 3/4 of an inch and can curl up on a dime. they are probably really hard to get a hold of if not imposable. a medium sized lizard that i really recommend for beginners is a bearded dragon. they get about 2.5 feet and are relatively easy to take care of.

.............. wow Im wondering from the person that answered above , if biggest lizard is komodo dragon at 9.8 feet, then how do you explain aligatore & crockadiles at 12 even 15 feet long , LOL

They grow- well actually, it depends on the lizard- some grow to about 3 feet long, but some only grow to 8 inches!

The Komodo dragon (a monitor lizard) may grow to almost ten feet long.
