Hi kikojames, this is actually a salamander, way cooler than a lizard ;) I'm not great with salamanders, but I think this is a Garden Slender Salamander, Batrachoseps major major. Have a look and see what you think! http://www.californiaherps.com/salamande...

Also, this should be moved to the amphibians category :)
