Need help IDing a lizard
Would love a little help with this one. Found this pair of lizards under a log on a hiking trail in panama city, fl. I assume they are male and female but what species? Is it exotic or nonnative?




Based on first picture I was about to guess rather something from Urodela http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id305/
but on the second picture it really looks like some lizard. Maybe from the family Lacertidae http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id354/ ?

Cis or trans? That's what matters.

Well I appreciate you responding. Unfortunately I could tell its not a newt or salamander, not with those toes or long tail. it was definitely a lizard. I also don't think its the second cause of the blue color or body shape. I believe Lacertidae has a more slender body with little difference from the head to midsection. Hence the reason I'm having difficulty. Its possible they aren't even the same species. I just assumed they were male and female cause they were so close together under the same small log.
Looks like it might be a young spiny-tailed iguana. They are a bit less spiky when young...
