That is what it looked like. Maybe a bit larger. The child holding it in the picture was probably around 8 or nine, so it is hard to judge its size by looking at the hand. Now I'm wondering where it ended up. Thanks for your help guys.

Here's how large a hatchling is: http://blog.hmns.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dsc_0118a.jpg

Well, it wasn't really frightened, so if it was someone's pet that would explain it. This is a camping area and kids were all fascinated and playing with it. It was pretty small for a dragon, probably only 6 inches.

I'm with Tyler. The only lizard listed for Michigan is the five-lined skink. http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-10370_12145_12201---,00.html

I'm pretty sure that's a Bearded Dragon.. They're actually native to Australia, and have no business being in the wild in Michigan. He must be an escaped or released pet. Strange.
