Does it have scales or a scaleless skin? I can't quite tell from the photo.
Lizards are reptiles and have dry scale skin. Newts are amphibians and have
smoother, moist skin without sales. It does look newt-like to me. Newt and
salamanders require moisture, and I think I see some drops of water on the
plant in the photo. So I am assuming there is water nearby.

Hi All,
this little chap is the first reptile of this kind I ever saw in our garden.
Seems to be a quite young lizard, but I can't find any pictures of one that
looks anything like it (or is it a
newt?)
Would appreciate any help in finding out exactly what it is.
