5. I think it's a Republican.
But I'm not sure. I don't mean to insult the animal, but it is, like a Republican, reptilian.

11. The closest thing I've seen to that was a desert spiny lizard.
It's hard to say because this photo is blurry, but the scales look similar, and the female spiny lizards sometimes have an orange tint to their heads during mating season.

Also know as the two-headed skink. Or at least some member of the family. I can't figure out exactly which one.
