Caught this guy near my apartment earlier this week. It's an alligator lizard. Seems like it's about half a year old and it should grow to anywhere from 14" to 18".

Nah, it's an alligator lizard. Confirmed it with a lizard expert at Petco
It's doing fine so far - still getting used to being held but it's not as paranoid as it was for first few days. My cat just discovered it yesterday and tried to grab it but I stopped her right in time

Huh. When I was a kid back in Florida, we used to gather those little ******* up from the playground during recess and then stick 'em in the girls desks before they got back to class.
Never occurred to me to keep one as a pet.
You're weird.
