Answer 2

It's hard to tell from the picture. It would also help to know where you live. It looks possibly like a fence lizard or similar species. But why is the enclosure so wet? Fence lizards (if that's what it is) need it a little drier, as well as places to hide and things to climb on. I normally see them in trees. It would also need a heat lamp and a UVB light, and I doubt they'll be willing to spend the money to properly care for it. It will just end up dying like so many animals that are removed from their homes.
