Although situlas may occasionally eat lizards in the wild, they are definitely rodent eaters. I would not purchase a lizard and possibly risk infecting your beautiful snake with parasites (unless you really want to try this and can get a captive bred lizard).

PS: The "Atlas of Snakes of the World" by John Coborn says that E. situla "feeds largely on lizards", but that statement is false.
