It's definately some kind of Sceloporus. Most likey Sceloporus occidentalis, the western fence lizard. The only other possibility would be Sceloporus graciosus, the sagebrush lizard, but I think that Folsom is a bit out of its range.

Yes, I believe Alice is right, looks like a baby Western Fence Lizard to me.

Looks like a subadult female sceleptoporus occidentalis -- blue belly, or common western fence swift.
