Ever find any of them? When I was in CT our only native was the five-lined skink and I don't think one had been collected officially for 50 years or so. That was always my "dream herp". Now I'm down here, lizards everywhere
But not monitors like Onion 
looks def like an ally lizard, they can be very aggressive, i had one bite me threw a leather glove once and wouldnt let go
I've seen plenty of Five-Lined Skinks up in the mountains but I've never found the other 3 species of lizards. I hear that the Coal and Broad Headed are hard to find because they live in isolated areas. There's good habitat for Fence Lizards around where I live but I've never seen any. I'd like to get a couple dozen and let them go to repopulate the area around my house.
i suspect it's a southern alligator lizard, the way to tell is look at their eyes, the southerns are a golden yellow while northerns are greenish brown. southerns are my favorite california native lizards, they'r awesome pets once they calm down a little bit.
