Sofia Raudales, biologist and curator of the natural history museum of the National Autonomus University in Honduras, just sent these photos of an un-named anole captured in Honduras. I have a pretty strong hunch what they are, but since I’ve never been to Honduras, I thought I’d post the photos. If they are what I think they are, they were found where they’re not supposed to be. ID, anyone?

Tail flattened? Looks kinda like sagrei.
Robert Cox
Yup, looks like A. sagrei.
Pierre Legreneur
Yep. A. Sagrei.

Indeed, sagrei was my initial reaction. Glad to see others think so too. Sorry they are there, though…. Skip

I also think that looks very much like a male Anolis sagrei.
