Lizard Identification

Hey there forum members,

So...my local herp store has a pair of "blue rock iguanas" in their store. The animals look nothing like an iguanid, and I'm fairly sure that they're misidentifications. Would anyone be able to enlighten me as to exactly what they are? Pic below:

Looks like a Madagascar blue rock iguana. (Oplurus fierenensis) can you post more pictures.

And therein lies the confusion

I've always thought Oplurus fierinensis is the Anzamala Madagascar Swift, even though it is a member of the Madagascar iguanid family.

Couldn't get any better pics of them, but the owner of the store has no idea what they are
