Not lecturing you...BUT if you "acquired" this outside wherever you live you might then try to see if your state/province/country has a website that shows NATIVE reptiles. I know several United States states have websites with pix.

Now for some of my guesses. Could be a uromastyx. I have an excellent website for you that has really neat pix of the different color variations of this lizard. It is:

Another possibility is that it is a swift of some sort which is in the iguanid family...the ones that begin oplurus. There is a picture of one at the basking spot:

You might try looking for pix of the ctenosaura grouping (spiny tail iguanas). I'd post something if I had it but I don't right now.

While you are looking, you might try offering this lizard some of the gray crickets no larger than the width of her head AND green veggies. In case this is a uro, here is the addy of a care sheet for them:

Good luck & let us know if you determine what you have!
