Abstract A new method for the individual identification of Central European lacertid lizards is described. The method uses the fingerprint-like patterns of the ehest and anterior belly. This pattem does not show any ontogentic change and thus allows individual identification of new borns as weil. The method was tested for five species (Lacerta agilis, L. bilineata, L. viridis, and Podarcis muralis, and Zootoca vivipara) and probably is applicable to most (all) lacertids. As a reliable non-invasive method, it can replace all invasive methods like toe clipping.
