Iguana - Lizards of Tobago - Wildlife photography. Sometimes you get a little lucky, as I did here when I came across this Iguana fairly low in tree branches as I walked around in a small mangrove. He had obviously been shedding skin as the front foot shows, and was still catching itself as I stumbled upon it, being generous enough to allow me to get a shot off before taking itself off to safer heights with some speed.

The Laura is a small snake that mainly hunts lizards and frogs in light woodland and bush, replying on it's bright green coloration to avoid detection from raptors and other birds. A harmless snake, but no matter how harmless it is still killed on sight by humans simply because it is a snake. What a shame.

 Warming on the forest floor this bush anole seemed indifferent to my presence allowing me the chance for a macro photo of this interesting lizard. Like many in this lizard family the Many-coloured bush anole is know for it's ability to change color to match it's surroundings.
