Small alligator lizard. Found under rock at Felicita park, Escondido.
Flew from lower roof nest to wooden porch handle that was close to a bush
Likely an invasive C. sculpturatus, though further testing is needed for identification.
"Found on road in front of our house. I believe it is a European Legless Lizard. It eventually moved into a neighbor's yard."
