  Comments:
蝘 and 蜓 were only added to the JIS standards in 2000. They were probably not used on WWW pages in 2007 when the n-gram data was scraped. Even now they're uncommon.

nikk has 石龍子
daijr/s, koj, and nikk have 蝘蜓. It doesn't play nicely with the n-gram counter.

gg5: simply defines トカゲ as lizard
daijs: 目スキンク科の爬虫 (はちゅう) 類
  Comments:
If someone asks "what is the Japanese word for lizard", the obvious answer is "トカゲ", even though technically a gekko may be a lizard but not a トカゲ.
But it is not easy to find this entry by searching for "lizard".
I propose splitting this into an everyday non-technical common usage sense and a technical biologically precise sense.
