I don't know if it is the "only" one but Uromastyx do not depend on water.
Is that what you are looking for?

The Western Fence Lizard may not depend on water. I live in a desert, see plenty of these lizards so far away from water that I am not sure exactly where they get it from.

How about a Desert tortoise. They eat cactus fruit and desert grasses and because of their environment they are able to survive without water.
They get the moisture they need from the food they eat.

There are lots of reptiles that live in the desert. Uromastyx is one of them. They get water mostly from vegetation.

All reptiles need water one way or another. It's just that they don't all drink water directly. Some, like Uromastyx and some desert rattlers, gain all the water they need from their prey and, occasionally, dew.

Most desert tortises can go along time without water but they eat cactus and drink the nourishment from them.But all animals need water or they die.
