Spiny lizards in Honduras

Lmarc Loc: Ojojona, Honduras
 
Honduras seems to be full of lizards of all sizes and colors. At first we thought these were immature iguanas, but now I THINK they are a related species called Sceloporus malachiticus, a greenish spiny lizard, a cousin to true iguanas, and native to Central America. They look like little dinosaurs. Regardless, our little Basset "Pebbles" likes to make their lives as miserable as possible, but they always get away.

Cutie-pie!
He's lost his tail before . . .
Wish we could learn to grow our appendages back like these smart fellows do.

This lizard looks strikingly similar to our Island Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis becki): http://santacruz.nrs.ucsb.edu/natural-resources/vertebrate-animals/island-fence-lizard which is a sub-species of the Western Fence lizard: http://www.californiaherps.com/lizards/pages/s.o.occidentalis.html

Great captures, needs a little 'skin cream' to quench those rough spots!
