Hey guys and gals. Does anyone know what kind of lizard this is? All I know about the pic is it was taken in Florida...

Thanks!

It's a brown basilisk (Basiliscus basiliscus)

Was it wild or someones pet?

In Florida, I am not suprised that it would be wild. I was at a friends house in FL and had a Savannah Monitor stroll by, a jackson's Chameleon, and a couple Cane Toads.
