Oh yes, it is (Oligosoma otagense) or better known as the Otago Skink, correct?

Those little cuties are Holaspis duentheri, sometimes know as Rainbow Rock lizards or gliding lizards. My daughter keeps a pair of these and they are fun to watch.
We've got one of those!!! DANG he's fast!!! I named him Turbo!

Geez, Bobby, I have no idea what that is but it's attractive.

I'm gonna add another lizard one. This critter is not available too often in the pet trade. They are a challenge to keep, at least in my experience, but I really like them.

Here is another.

that is a callisaurous dracanoides or zebra tailed lizard. do you do a lot of herping in the southern california deserts bobby? i noticed, you posted a fringe toad lizard prior to this one, both species are really cool. a funny thing about these zebra tails is that they are super fast and they live out here by the sandy lake shores of pyramid lake nevada, anyway nutty shell of a story, you can trick them into running full speed into the water, where they just float on the surface and are super easy to catch.

Polychrus marmoratus is correct. I really like this species but, unfortunately, have had a bad experience keeping them. Someday I may try again if anyone has any luck captive breeding them.

i think its a haitian curlytail lizard, but it might be another species from the same family.

I think you are correct, they are now found in south Florida as well.
