Can anyone confirm this is a WFL? I have never seen one this long! It was at least 18 inches.
Found it in my garage, took a pic before releasing it.
I live in Southern California so I see them all the time, but they're normally 6-8 inches at most.

Alligator lizards have slender gray-brown colored bodies, although juveniles are marked differently than adults with a broad stripe on the back of tan, reddish, yellow, gray, or beige and side bars may be less distinct. In size they range from 2 7/8 - 7 inches in snout to vent length and up to approximately 12 inches in total length. With their large heads and powerful jaws, alligator lizards are capable of inflicting a nasty and painful bite. Their limbs are short, but alligator lizards have long tails, sometimes as much as twice the body length. - Alex Corona Sony A7, Canon 7DM2/EOS M, Mamiya 645/67
