=== Reproductive success with age === Sand lizards have demonstrated that as their age increases, so does their reproductive success. However, a study showed that this relationship is most likely due to the increase in body size as sand lizards mature rather than increased experience they acquire as they live longer. This may be because female sand lizards that are larger are simply able to produce more clutches with the increased space in their bodies.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Olsson|first1=Mats|last2=Shine|first2=Richard|date=1996-01-01|title=Does reproductive success increase with age or with size in species with indeterminate growth?
