Ok so I went to my great uncle's house today and his son and stuff was putting stuff in a car. My mom noticed something that was off grass color and was all 'get it before it get's stepped on!' so I just put my hand down and the little baby lizzard walked onto my hand. He's in a jar right now... with a bunch of grass and there's a baby grasshopper in it. I have a turtle, so I have a tank that he grew out of so I'm thinking about transferring the lizzard into that tank. But I'v ebeen looking all over and I'm still confused... I have absolutely no idea how to take care of this thing X: He is... uhm.. I think maybe four-five inches max from head to tip of the tail. Would he eat mealworms? because that's what we have to give to my turtle... but yeah. Could someone tell me a good link, or explain the proper way to take care of it?

EDIT: No no... it's not green. And I'm positive it's a beardie. Nonetheless I'm probally going to take it to the pet store to see what it is.

EDIT: Ok.. so we're taking him to petsmart as soon as my parents wake up. My mom and I are like.. positive it's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogona_barbata
And yes... I had a feeling it might have been illegal, but someone almost stepped on it and it just kept running back to where the people were. So me being the dork I am, I wanted to keep it xD So I don't live in Australia. I do however live in texas, but one of my cousin's lives in Mexico and it was by his car... could it have came from mexico?

Ok. So here's the outcome. We took him to petsmart and the guy totally freaked out. He is an Eastern Bearded Dragon and he has NO idea how it could have made it here. Nonetheless he taught me how to take care of it and I just transferred it to it's new home. it's a little freaked out but the guy already said it bonded with me xD And he took it out of the cage and it liked... jumped on me and wouldn't get off xD Hmmm so yeah. He said he'll make it and stuff, and hopefully with the info he gae me, and the info you guys give me he'll grow large and healthy...
I'm still confused as to how it got here xD
