Re: lizard that eats mice
Are you meaning as a staple or what? There are tegus and monitors they eat rodents. Most lizards will eat a small pinkie depending on size. "IT" depends on what you're wanting.

Re: lizard that eats mice
I can't particularly think of any that ought to be fed exclusively on rodents, but as mentioned, monitors and tegus can eat adult mice. It really depends on what you're looking for and why. Monitor care is not something you can walk into on a whim simply because you want a mouse-eater.

Re: lizard that eats mice
Water Dragons get big enough to eat adult mice though not as a staple. You can make up about 30% of it's diet in mice. There are all kinds of lizards that will eat pinkies as part of their diets. The trick is to vary the diet as much as possible.

Re: lizard that eats mice
Is there a particular reason that you want a lizard that eats mice?

There really aren't any captive species of lizard I can think of that feed exclusively on rodents. They need more variety in their diets to be healthy. Snakes like rat snakes, ball pythons, and corn snakes are not as versatile and specialize in rodents and other small mammals, which is why a diet of mice suits them well.
