Hi Christopher,

This is a young Ctenosaura similis, Black Iguana. You probably remember the adults which reach a total length of up to 1.3 metres and a weight of 2 kg in males. The females are smaller.

Cheers,
Henrik

Like a legion of power stations on a coral atoll, constantly choking smog into the tropical breeze.
