Honestly, you should probably keep a closer eye on her. She could eat a black widow or catch Salmonella from the lizards.

How old is your daughter? I think you should watch her closely and keep here away from things that she'll just put in her mouth. Its dangerous. slap her lightly on her hand everytime shes about to put something in her mouth and maybe she'll realise that thats not good and she needs to stop. Also if you see her putting stuff in  her mouth pull her aside and give her real food that she could eat. that way she could munch on that instead of on everything she sees. My little sister had a problem with redeocrating the house when she was younger. She would move things all over the place she would even take the liquid soap and drag it across the room and watch that pretty blue line disolve into the carpet and do it again! She drove us crazzyy! But she got over it. She also used to eat things and once ate one of those rubber things that pop when you flip it upside down and she was choking I had to put my hand down her throat and get it out, she also ate a penny once i had to do the same thing. She would take soap bars and suck on them then cry because they tasted bad. We would slap her lightly on the hand and after a while she grew out of it and got the point.

If she eats a bluebelly lizard then thats pretty dangerous but I dont think any other type is. Just try to prevent her from it. you never know where that lizards been and I dont think that lizard has ever taken a bath. I agree with the comment above slap her lightly on her hand till she gets the point. Or heres an idea, put some soap or anything foul tasting but not very dangerous on the ground or places have her try to eat that and it will taste disgusting and she may learn not to eat them.
