Reptiles are not only of economic value, but also culturally, historically, artistically, educationally, agriculturally, and ecologically. By hunting insects, they can play an effective role in agricultural pest control. Sampling was done non-invasively after determining 27 stations. 203 samples of Paralaudakia caucasia were collected and identified. Among these, 30 samples of adults and 14 samples of Juveniles species were subjected to biometrics. The obtained results of the biometrics, after checking in the IBM SPSS Statistic 24 software shown that there are significant differences in the SVL (Snout-Vent Length), TrL and TL. The significant differences can be attributed to the presence of the river and differences in vegetation. The mountain soil in the Eastern part is rocky and in the West is clay-rocky, can be considered as an important factor in the differences. The present study result had the significant differences with the other result reported from Shahrood and Mazandaran cities.
