The breeding statistics for 2021 of the DGHT-AG Lacertids show the successes in breeding lizards in terrariums. Although many members of the AG Lacertids keep and breed lizards, only a few participate in the internal breeding statistics. However, breeding successes are important to maintain lizard populations in terrariums and to demonstrate our expertise as contacts for terrarium keepers, scientists, and authorities. In total, at least 178 lizards were kept and 321 offspring were produced in 2021, with the common wall lizard, the Kurdish lizard, and the eastern emerald lizard having the most successful breeding.
