So much work, so little time...so let's go birding
Hi Wiktoria,
Taking a stab at these.
1 & 2 are Regal Horned Lizard Phrynosoma solare
3 & 4 I think are Chihuahuan Spotted Whiptail Aspidoscelis exsanguis
5 is I think either Plateau Lizard Sceloporus tristichus or
Southwestern Fence Lizard S. cowlesi depending on where you photographed it.
This is a useful reference site:

That would make it the Plateau Lizard. Nice images, and the Regal Horned Lizard is a great find! I saw one back in May.

I agree with the ID's except for the Whiptail. I'm very sure that it's a Western Whiptail Aspidoscelis tigris. Nice finds.
