I just spent a week in Cuba, mostly in the far east, and found a few interesting anoles. Help with identification will be appreciated. Here’s the first batch (all from Moa-Baracoa area in the east).

Number 11 is a knight anole, A. equestris. Number 5 might also be one, but a juvenile – it’s hard to make out the details. Number 6 looks like A. porcus – just a guess. There are some weird so-called “false anoles” on the big island, like A. chamaeleonidae and A. barbatus, who all resemble each other, but barbatus is from the far west of the island and chamaeleonidae is, I believe, from the Guantanamo area.
These are some beauties. I envy you being out in the forest at play with them..
