This is a collared lizard and is known for running on its back legs. It is the lizard seen in some old science fiction movies about dinosaurs. Since it is young it may make a good pet. They will get to be a foot our more in length (without the tail).

That is possibly a Urosaurus species of a Side Blotched (Uta stansburiana). The image is blurry so I cannotbe sure.
