Nah it's a shingleback lizard. Very common. They have a stumpy tail which they store fat in for energy. They are usually not happy about being handled. This one was very placid.

Lol I have more experience with these animals than most vets lol. I have volunteered with my local herp society, abs teach classes on pack animal training as well as reptile handling. I even have the lab equipment to do my own fecal exams to determine parasites and bacterial infections for lizards I rescue. The only thing I can't do is write a script for medications hunny. I literally taught my local exotic animal vet how to bottle fed, abs remove baby Joey's from a mother sugar glider in emergency situations. You sure make a lot of assumptions.
