odd lizard on my Alabama tree

Question

what is it ?
I live in Alabama and have never seen this lizard before. Can you identify? Thank you for your time.

Answer
This is a gravid (pregnant) female Sceloporus undulatus Eastern Fence lizard (Spiny/Fence/Swift family). Such lizards are common in Texas and some other southern and western states, but we call them Spiny lizards here. They might not be as common in AL. I am not sure, but they are native.

Again, I can tell from picture that this girl is pregnant, so leave her be, or return her if you captured.
