Texas Horned Lizard

This beautiful Lizard crossed the road right in front of us as we were leaving home for our latest
adventure over the 4th of July Holiday.
He is a member of the Iguana Family, about 4" in length and can be found in SE Arizona and S and E New Mexico.
This is my first sighting! I have previously seen the Regal Horned Lizard. Now I can really see the differences between the two.
Below is the Regal Horned Lizard:

We grew up calling this a horny toad. Haven't seen one in years so it was fun to chance upon yours. Great shot!
