If it doesn't have limbs and does not have movable eyelids it is a type of legless lizard. If it does have eyelids it may be a type of skink.
If it has limbs, and in daylight the pupil is not a vertical slit and the scales on its head and neck overlap and it has large, shield- like scales on the top of its head it is probably a type of skink.
If it has limbs, the pupil is not a slit in daylight and the scales on the top of it's head are tiny and irregular, a long, slender, deeply forked tongue that flicks in and out it is probably a type of monitor.
If it has all these features but its tongue is broad and flat and only seen when its owner eats or drinks, it is most probably a type of dragon.
If it has limbs, a vertical slit for a pupil in daylight and the scales on the head and neck lie side to side, it is likely to be a gecko.
