Description:

Help me ID this little guy. It looks like it just hatched within a month or two... very small lizard of some kind. I originally thought horny toad, but after some google searching I don't think that's what it is.

Bearded Dragon maybe? Weird to see its belly capable of flattening out so large at so young an age though.

I am use to calling them horned toads which are really called horned lizards. It is one of these Phrynosomatidae Phrynosoma cornutum Texas horned lizard Phrynosomatidae Phrynosoma hernandesi Short-horned lizard Phrynosomatidae Phrynosoma modestum Round-tail horned lizard

baby horned toad. I will try to see if I can find which one but it's a little tougher when they are babies.
