Its a cuban knight anole (anolis equestris).
Here's a website for you...

I have had several of these over the yearrs. It doesn't indicate it in any of the sites that I have read about them, but they will consume, in addition to insects, fruits like melon, cantaloupe, berries, apple, pear and sweet red peppers, butternut squash, etc.
They are usually not very tameable and quick to bite....but very interesting to watch.
The one in the pictures you included in your post looks like it could be male...but to be sure, I need better shots of the base of the tail.

In addition to the aforementioned diet, they will apparently eat young rodents. We found one in our yard by the squeaking noise emanating from a fuzzy rat it was eating.

I've read those guys have a negative impact on native fauna. If this is the case, it would be a good idea NOT to release it back into the wild.
