No, a lizard is not a panchendriya jeev.

In Jainism:

• Panchendriya jeev = beings with all 5 senses:

touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing.

• Examples: humans, many larger animals (cow, lion, elephant, etc.), devas, naraki, etc.

A lizard is generally classified as:

• Chaturindriya jeev (four-sensed being) – having:

- touch - taste - smell - sight - but not counted in the category of fully developed hearing in the traditional lists.

Because of this, lizard is treated as a higher-sensed animal but not panchendriya in the usual Jain classification.

This is why, in practice, harming or killing a lizard is still considered a serious himsa, higher than plant/insect harm, but below the strictest level reserved for panchendriya sanjni jeevs (humans, higher animals, devas, narakis).
