    I don’t think this is a lizard, but probably an amphibian? Looks like the salamanders we used to catch as kids.

      One of my friends pointed this out after I posted this. I don’t know the difference. 😭

        Salamanders are awesome. Growing up with a pond in the garden we used to go out fishing for frogspawn and salamanders all the time.

        We’d hatch the frogspawn in a large aquarium out in the yard and we would watch the little frogs grow. Great way to learn about these little critters as a kid.

        Salamanders were released in the pondside vegetation and eventually claimed the pond as their own. Little guys are still hanging around, even after all these years.
