HELP! Can you help me identify these lizards?

[zoomer]

I love these kinds of lizards I saw at the pet store a long time ago, and we might get one but I forgot what they are called :o :rolleyes: Can you help me? They're big black lizards, with yellow spots, smaller than a foot long. Is that enough info :/ ? They're like JUMBO salamanders, like a huge Yellow Spotted Salamander but bigger and fatter. They live in mud or damp dirt.

Leopard geckos?
Fat tail geckos?

sounds like some tyoe of gecko?

No, they aren't geckos. They're like JUMBO salamanders, like a huge Yellow Spotted Salamander but bigger and fatter. They live in mud or damp dirt.

Sounded like a small male uromastyx to me at first, but they certainly don't live in damp mud. Maybe a yellow spotted Ameiva? Or a lacerta? Sorry I don't have pictures but you can find them on yahoo.

[zoomer]

No, they're not any of those, they're... slimy.

If so, that is a salamander.

I had one of those lizards (RIP Tanker :(), it's not that though. It's like that though, except JUMBO and they don't live in water.
