Their general body shape is similar, but other than that they are very different. The main difference is that the lizard is a reptile and the salamander is an amphibian. Lizards, as with most reptiles, generally reproduce and live their entire lives on land. However, amphibians must reproduce and spend a period of time growing in water before eventually moving onto land. Lizards also have dry, scaly skin while salamanders have moist, smooth skin.
Lizards are reptiles with dry, scaly, waterproof skin. They lay leathery-shelled eggs that hatch on land. The young look like smaller versions of the adults.
Salamanders are reptiles with moist, smooth skin that is water permeable. They lay gelatinous eggs without shells that hatch underwater. The young resemble fish or tadpoles. Some salamanders lack lungs and breathe through their skin while others have gills and spend their entire lives in water.
There is a world of difference between the two, surprisingly. A salamander is an order of amphibians, being creatures that habituate on land as well as in the water. Whist a lizard is a suborder of scaled reptiles. Reptiles are not aquatic, the main difference, I suppose, would be their class.
A salamander is an amphibian that looks like a lizard.
If it is a lizard it can't be a salamander because a salamander is an amphibian.
