What kind of Cuban lizard is this?

CheersTerry Feb 07, 2009 12:42 PM

This little guy was found in Santa Maria, Cuba.

Can anyone identify it for me?

(The gardener at the resort claimed it was endangered and moved it away from where the people were. I don't know if what he said was true...)

Thank you for the help.

Cheers,
Terry

Sorry, I don't know how to post a photo. I think the link works in the original post, but here's another try...

Its an anole from the equestris group. But I am not sure about the exact subspecies.

There are a ton of types of these "Knight Anoles". Cuba is understudied and thus we don't know for sure which exact type. If I had one I'd call it an "Ornate Knight Anole" and breed it until I had 100 pairs!
