I'm a marine biologist by training with a passion for herptiles. I run an educational program called Lick Your Eyeballs where I bring live herps to classrooms and events to teach people about how incredible reptiles and amphibians are.

Anoles of Luquillo, Puerto Rico: ID Help

I did a bit of herping in Luquillo on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico and the abundance of anoles and frogs  was incredible. I was hoping for help IDing these guys and any insight you might have on these species. I think the first three are the same species?

  1. We found this sleeping anole perched up on the back of a sign.

6) This last one was found in the Yunque, not in Luquillo. Not the best photo, but it was a beautiful anole.

Thanks again!

Anoles of Culebra

I am very interested in IDing the following anoles I saw on the island of Culebra, which is 17 miles east of Puerto Rico. I thought I would be able to find a guide to anoles of this area online, but IDing them turned out to be harder than I thought. Thank you for your time!
1) First one was found in the parking lot of Flamenco.

2) Also found near Flamenco.
