Sam,

There are many many species of reptiles here. From amievas, tegus, monitors, to pythons and boas.

I myself have seen the burms, redtail boas, green amievas, basalisks, nile monitor, water monitor, even a mangrove (hehe oops), spiny tail iguanas, green iguanas, and various small agamas.

I am sure there are many others I have not seen yet.

The mangrove I mention was mine, it escaped as a baby. It lived in the wooded lot next to my house. It grew up in that very lot as it took me a little over a year to catch him. He escaped at only around 16 inches total length and was 3 foot when I caught him.

It amazed me how easy they can take to a new surrounding. I don't think it would be to hard to establish prasinus here either. If you pick out the habitat and let them go i am sure they will do just fine.

Now as you said, and I already mentioned. In order to re- introduce them you'll need to first make sure the land is safe. That would be the biggest hurdle to jump over.

Seeing your letting them go back into the habitat you collected them or the parents, I do not see why they would not thrive. The animals here do not live here naturaly yet they have made it just fine.
