I think garrets got it right.
You guys need to get on the ball and learn about your local herps. There more out there then just chams. All these posts and only one maybe right? Lame... Who ever said it looks like a brown anole......Jezz, not even close. You should go out and stare at some lizards. If you live in FL, theres no way you should have got that wrong.
My small rant for the day!

Golly gee... There are Anoles all over the place here, I have seen many different types (all what I have always called anoles)
I have seen black ones with yellow specks and brown ones with sails on their backs and plain brown ones with stripes. I have no idea what their scientific names or sub species names are and if they are TRULY all categorized as Anole.. I never claimed to be an anole expert but I thought since this lizard was on the West coast it would be possible for it to be a west coast version of an anole.

Anyway after looking at the photo more closely, I would like to change my vote to Unicorn

I just wish something like that would show up in my back yard...barn or no. We got rattlesnakes, bees, lots of wasps. Oh and the occasional cougar, deer, elk, moose.

to me it looks like it might belong to the NIGHT LIZARD family. this is a family of lizards common to so cal. Usually there pupils are vertical and they have no eye lids like a gecko plus they stay fairly small usually 5-10 in., but if this doesnt add up then maybe its a type of WHIPTAIL they have eye lids a long thin tail and get to be a little larger 12-17 inch, but im really not sure, i would get a North American reptile identification book from your local book store if you want to research your local herps. National Audubon Society makes a lot of helpful field guides and most book stores seem to cary them, you may even be able to access some online.

Thank you much Joe. People lost the point of this post they all started arguing felt like a High School Web site.
