Help me ID this little guy. It looks like it just hatched within a month or two... very small lizard of some kind. I originally thought horny toad, but after some google searching I don't think that's what it is.
Bearded Dragon maybe? Weird to see its belly capable of flattening out so large at so young an age though.
I am use to calling them horned toads which are really called horned lizards. It is one of these
Phrynosomatidae Phrynosoma cornutum Texas horned lizard
Phrynosomatidae Phrynosoma hernandesi Short-horned lizard
Phrynosomatidae Phrynosoma modestum Round-tail horned lizard
baby horned toad. I will try to see if I can find which one but it's a little tougher when they are babies.
