Hello:
From the view shown it looks like a Sudan Plated lizard (Gerrhosaurus major major). They used to be more available in the past than they are today. Now the subspecies (G. m. gradis) is more commonly seen.
I had a Sudan for fourteen years that was an adult when I got it so they do live quite a long time.
Have a Great Day!!!
