Leviticus 11:29

²⁷ All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

²⁸ and anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.

The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,

³⁰ the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

³¹ These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
