It's a longtailed grass lizard. I've sold many of them though the years.

Long tailed grass lizard is a descriptive name and is often used for Takydromus sexlineatus. And I'm 100% sure that it isn't a takydromus on the picture

Ok I just spent about 30 min looking from pic to pic. Uziel is right in it is NOT Takydromus sexlineatus (longtailed grass lizard.) Main difference is the head. And so I'm out of the conversation do to lack of knowledge concerning Ameivas (which is now what I think it is.) Good Luck!!

My grandfather lives in western texas (odessa) and these little boogers run all over the place. They are very fast. Iv always heard them called long tailed grass lizards. I caught a baby one that was running down the hall at my church and decided to keep it. I feed it gut loaded pin heads. iv had it for two years, housed with a house gecko, 3 hermitcrabs, and a fire skink all in a 45 gallon with a waterfall, uvb light fixture, and all that jazz. iv had NO problems, it seems to like the rainforest setup as it is way more active then when i had it in a desert setup.

hope i was some help,
