Wow were not u scared at the time of holding the lizard ??
Thanks, Jim! That certainly looks like my little friend :)
Fence Lizard, also known locally as Blue Bellies. Males have beautiful blue blotches on their tummies to signal females. Very common in California as a whole. Beautiful little backyard critters.
