I believe that "The Morris Ring" scorn any sort of contact with green lizards or indeed any other reptiles. My own team (The Bonny Green Garter-Snakes) was refused entry on these grounds. One of our dancers is a slow-worm, which as you will know is actually a legless lizard, indeed most of the other dancers often appeared legless. The Lord of the Ring voted against our application citing the obvious kinship to newts after exposure to beer.
At the moment we are keeping a close eye on the Ring - we have appointed a "monitor lizard" who is having a close gecko at their activities. I find it turtley unacceptable.
