What type of lizard do we have?

Question

We opened our front door, and a little baby lizard came into our house. We caught it but now we don't know what type it is. It is about 2 inches long with a 1/2 inch tail, the top of it is orange-ish, the sides are brown-ish and the belly is silver-ish. It has a pointy head, and smooth body. But i think it might just be a baby and that it may grow to have scales. It is not wet, it is dry.

Answer 1

almost all lizards have scales from birth u sure its not a salamander. salamanders arent constantly wet but they can stay in this state forever. i assume you've let it go since keeping wild caught reptile and amphibians causes life threatening levels of stress and only the stupid and cruel do it

Answer 2

According to my research, and after watching Jurassic Park 3 times in a row (the whole series), You are currently experiencing a Veloci-Raptor attack. They send in a baby to obtain your scent, then the adults, usually 8 feet tall and 15 feet in length, hide in your television, and or shrubs, and attack you from the side...

Beware...

Answer 3

All lizards are dry.

I would say it should be a species of skink. If you could tell us the state that you live in it would make it a lot easier.
