is there a word that describes both lizards and chameleons that is less general than reptiles?
Chameleons are lizards…so I think basically that is your answer. Lizards are reptiles of the order Squamata normally possessing four legs, external ear openings and movable eyelids. The adult length of species within the order range from a few centimeters (some Caribbean geckos) to nearly three meters (Komodo Dragons).
