Well, I found this Lizard around some leaves. I was thinking it was just, you know, another lizard..but on closer inspection, it's really quite pretty, the stripes are perfect, the eyes are different, the tail is much longer, the rear claws are long, with that oddly long toe like my Bearded Dragon has. Most of all, i've noticed that it does the tongue thing. You know, the tongue thing. Here's a picture, I hope i get a quick response.

Its a whiptail of the genus Cnemidophorus.From the blurry pic I do not dare to say more -I admit that I do not have in mind which species do occur in your area

I'm pretty sure, after some research, that it's a six-striped racerunner.

Read up on how to care for them. They don't eat lettuce.
