Blue tongue skinks are live bearers

thats all? live bearing is so much better imo causs than you dont have to incubate and the snake can do all the work :p!

With incubating you have more control. And with some of the high end incubators you just set the variables you want - temp and humidity and leave it til you're done.

Many montaine species of chameleons have live bearing young. I'm sure many of you are familiar with Ch. jacksonii, the tri-horned chameleons, they give live young.

Yes, blue tongued skinks are live bearing. Also monkey tailed skinks.

Just some live bearing species I can think of, in addition to what's already been mentioned (though there are many others):

Chinese Crocodile lizard - Shinisaurus crocodilurus
Various skinks
Australian southern water skinks - Eulamprus tympanum (Australian Eugongylus skinks have evolved complex placentas!!)
Island Night Lizard - Xantusia riversiana (I think all Xantusia are live bearing)
Horned Lizards - Phrynosoma sp.
Common Lacerta - Lacerta vivipara
Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus - New Caledonian Live-bearing Gecko
Family CORDYLIDAE - Armadillo lizards
Hoplodactylus sp. - New Zealand Geckos
Naultinus sp. - New Zealand Geckos
Spiny Lizards - Sceloporus sp.
Phrynocephalus sp (agamids)
North American legless lizards

yes and no, with like jacksons chams they drop the babys from the trees and then they hit the ground witch starts getting them moveing around to break the membrain, but also with berring live (as this has happend with some freinds of mine) the cham can die from it. so yes its better and no its not, it varies

Sandfish(scincus scincus) are live bearing. (or so I've heard)
