AC's Herp ID Game :)

Nope, sorry it's not a Tuatara. But you are right, Tutataras are not lizards. They're in the order Sphenodontia while the lizards are grouped in the order Squamata along with snakes. So I guess I narrowed this down. It's a lizard. :)
 
any clues to where it lives, sometimes i look at the plants but im pretty sure those are plastic lol

I'll try my best to find a more "natural" picture for you. ;)
 
First clue. It's native to Madagascar.
 
oplurus cuvieri
 
Too slow!
 
So close you guys. You've got the right genus.
 
cyclurus?
