Description Went to the zoo and snapped a photo of this little guy. I have no idea what kind of lizard it is. Sorry that the picture file is so large, but I wanted to keep it in its original format.

Sorry, these were from a trip to the zoo I had last year. No other pics of the lizard.

It's a sandfish, couldn't tell you species.  One of the few reptiles that can be housed on sand - they're specifically adapted to live in loose sand and don't survive well in captivity without it.  (Could be wrong though, face looks weird, any better photos?)

Snout looks a bit blunt- possibly Eumeces schneideri?

Yes it's possible.  On second look I did think the head was wrong, and it definitely looks like it could be a Schneider's.

Thanks! I think it may be a Berber Skink (Eumeces schneideriupload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…

Looks like some sort of Skink- which zoo was this at? Might help to ID
