Default Why do Lizards squeal?

We have several natural stone walls which are inhabited by lizards. Normally they are quite quiet, but now and again, there is a squealing noise from inside the wall. I can hear them squeal when fighting, but this is different. Does anyone know why, or is it just lacertian domestic violence?

Sounds like someone may not be getting their fair share of cheeses, yoghurt or marmalade jam...either that or you have constipated lizards....

We have the same, it is usally when presented with 'Beastie or Phoebe' it is meant to scare them off, I also didn't know the larger ones hiss, which further fuels the cats curiosity, followed by the hose, which has worked, they do not go near the feeding station now

Could they be indulging in a little lizard nookie maybe ?

I know hedgehogs make the most appalling noise but with the prickles it could be understood to be pain !
