It was inside technically, however all animals there are from the immediate surrounding area. Besides red-eared sliders that is.
If from Cali
Close to Uta stansburiana nevadensis - Nevada Side-blotched Lizard

Hi, For help with ID was this inside (captive) or outside (wild) the gardens? That way we can see if it is native to the area or non native.
