Thanks Reanna. I think we are getting somewhere with Agama. Maybe it's just a rare species.

Here's a female ground agama, pattern on the head isn't the same as yours though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ground_Agama,_female.jpg

Thanks Mitch. I appreciate any input you have, shot in the dark or not. I'm still not sure but I've never thought it would be an agama. Hard to find good images online but it does look like it could be a juvenile or female. Will need more research.

maybe a juvenile or female Agama agama (shot in the dark)

You're right lori.tas, they don't have claws. I will edit this to an unknown spotting.

Are there clawed geckos? This critter has clawed feet.
