There are a few lizards that will become bipedal for short stints when running. Included in them are Frilled lizards, Collard lizards and Basilisks.
Try a google search on bipedal lizards.

Ya but when we were feeding our collareds the male mistaked our female as food and bit her on the head and the female later died from infection, which we tried to treat.

My Savannah stands on his hind legs alot, never walks on them but alot of the times when I go to open his cage he stands up on his hind legs and surveys the area before coming near me. When I go to put food in the cage he follows it and slowly lowers his body to become level with his food.

I had a leo once that would lean back to that he balanced himself on his two hind legs to grasp a waiting treat from my fingers. Sometimes he would hop from his hind legs to catch moths fluttering about. I only saw him do this a handful of times, though. None of my other leos will do this, preferring instead to be lazy and wander off. I had an iguana that will do the same, but neither walked on their hind legs. Interesting, isn't it?

a number of monitors, most noticably the argus, will "tripod", which is standing on their hind legs balancing with the tail. they can jump from this position, but i dont think they can walk around.
