Note the missing end of the tail.
Anyone know what type of lizard it is?

I have looked at quite a few photos and I am thinking it is the Oregon Alligator Lizard. In real life the one above looked even more yellow, but these photos seem to look like some of these:

The head shot above really seems to match this one:

It is very alligator looking.

Maybe it’s a Willzard? Just kidding – I have no idea. But I really like that he/she is peeking out to say hello – or to tell you to bug off – in the second one.
No idea on the kind of lizard. lol at Bumbles comment.
Thanks for the comment on the blog my top flower is a Dogwood and it’s the Provincial Flower of B.C.

No idea what kind of lizard it is. It’s a good thing that you’re not scared to take a photo of it
Happy WW!

hi Will,
I’ve seen somewhat similar lizards (but not yellow), and based on the shape and tail thickness I call them “lizard snakes”. I would call yours a “yellow lizard snake.” Sorry I can’t be of more help.
As a kid we used to catch (and release) “blue belly lizards”. We called them that because they have bluish bellies. That’s about all I know about lizards.

Will, you’re nearly right about it, as it’s one of the subspecies of Oregon Alligator Lizard’s family! By the way, I loved the sharp and beautiful shot.
Eeek! I’m not a big fan of any kind of creepy crawlys. Great photo shot though.
