You really do love all lizards Katie! :-)
Went through a list of 15 species of agamas and narrowed it down to the mali agama. Distribution, description and existing (few) pictures match. Thanks again to dandoucette for directions!
Thanks for the clue Dan! I will investigate it further...
Not sure of the species, but I think it's a type of agamid lizard. I'm not familiar with the agamids found in the Sahara.
