 Latin or Scientific names!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the latin names for the following:
Anoles
Basilisks
Bearded Dragons
Chameleons
Collared Lizards
Crested Geckos
Frilled Dragons
Iguanas
Leoaprd Geckos
Tokay Geckos
Water Dragons
and just general monitors, and general geckos (I think geckos is like geckonidae? am I right?)

Google it!

I typed in as follows:
Water dragon "latin name" -came up as Physignathus
Leopard gecko "latin name" -came up Eublepharis Macularius
Bearded Dragon "latin name" - Pagona vitticeps

You also didn’t specify what you wanted to know...it depends on what your looking for... family, genus, species? It only took me a minute or two to look them up, so give it a try.
