Finally the starving clerk goes around for some lizards? (7)
I believe the answer is:
geckoes
'some lizards?' is the definition.
(gecko is a kind of lizard)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for geckoes that I've seen before include "Central American natives" , "Small lizards" , "Vocal lizards with adhesive pads for climbing" , "Nocturnal lizards" .)
