Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / How do I monitor lizards?

I'll start my first thread with a hilarious pun in the title. Not funny? Oh please yourself. Anyway, our garden (Tenerife south) is full of lizards, Gallotia galloti galloti, and they are delightful inquisitive creatures which enjoy cheese, coleslaw and especially scrambled egg. Some we know as individuals, and are often tame enough to eat from my hand. They live in dry stone walls and walls of our old cottage, and I know of one group where an old lizard has lived there for at least 5 years, with a bewildering combination of younger females.
Not much is known about their behaviour, and I was wondering how I could record their movements. If they can tag individual bees, it must be possible for lizards, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Does anybody have experience of this kind of thing?
