Identify Please

Had a guest staying in the hotel I work in bring this to me a little bit ago. He was found wandering the hallway. He said he was just going to throw him outside so I took him out back and let him go. So what is it?

That looks like a five lined skink.

Cool, thanks! Love his coloring especially the tail.
