I'm sorry to do this to you all but I have a fairly large batch of photos that need identified. I was sent these photos from a friend who just went on a trip to the Dominican Republic along with many others but these 15 are the ones I did not recognize with certainty. I am pretty sure that the third one is just a Green Anole but considering how many anoles are native to the area I could not be sure. Text on the lizards of that region is sparse. Anyway, please contribute what you can if you recognize any of these and I'll continue trying to figure them out on my own in the meantime. I thought they were grouped together according to the individual lizard being photographed however a couple groups toward the bottom look like they are actually different species:

Lizard #1

Lizard #2

Lizard #3

Lizard #4

Lizard #5

Lizard #6

Lizard #7

Lizard #8

Lizard #9

Lizard #10

Lizard #11

Lizard #12

Lizard #13

Lizard #14

Lizard #15

Thanks for any help!

The first one under 14 should be grouped with #10.

Here's what I have so far:

1: Leiocephalus lunatus, Santa Domingo Curly-tailed Lizard

3&10: Green Anoles but would like confirmation.

4: Anolis cristatellus cristatellusm, Puerto Rican Crested Anole

#8, 12 & 12 look like they could be Anolis distichus ssp.

I agree that #4 looks like a crested cristatellus.

#5 I think is an ameiva but I don't know what species.

Hope this helps.

heres some i.d.s....#1...Lyocephalus ssp...2..juvie Anoles baleatus...3...A. cybotes....5....Ameiva ssp.....6..Lyocephalus ssp....10..juvie Lyocephalus ssp...11..Anoles chlorocyanus...14...Leiocephalus schreibersi...all lyocephalus should have been spelled Leiocephalus...sorry about the misspellings...hope this helps...TC

You are incorrect on many of the lizards. One good example is you say lizard #2 is a Jamaican Anole[Anoles garmani] when it definitely is not, Its a juvie A. beliatus. According to the poster these were taken in the D.R. and the Jamaican Anole and others are NOT even located there. Anoles Garmani is pretty much bright green with adults reaching about 12" in length and they look NOTHING like the pic. My yard here in Ft. Lauderdale is full of them and I've seen many in Jamaica as well......TC
