Monday Morning Mystery 021119

Near Pigeon Park in Old San Juan, came across this medium-sized lizard. Can anyone hep with an ID?

(Same photo, wider angle below.). We saw all sorts of lizards of various sizes during our stay.

I'll post the answer to last week's mystery on Wednesday.

Iguanas which are dubbed the Puerto Rican squirrels. I just goggle them and see that they hunt them and eat them …

Green iguana (iguana iguana). I had two of those, too. 😀
I believe it’s an introduced species in PR, much like the ones that can be found in Florida – escapees that then established a feral population because the climate is suitable.
