Hey Ferdy, I think that this may be the Amazon Lava Lizard or Eastern Collared Spiny Lizard (Tropidurus torquatus). Posted 8 years ago

  Thanks a lot, how awesome to see and old photo identified! Out of those two, I'd say Tropidurus torquatus is more likely, given the collar:

  If you agree, feel free to identify it :) Posted 8 years ago

    OK, thanks, but my sentence was misleading, I meant to say "Amazon Lava Lizard otherwise known as Eastern Collared Spiny Lizard (Tropidurus torquatus). In my humble opinion, neither name is very good as they are obviously found outside of the Amazon (where there is no lava anyway!) and it is not particularly Eastern - but oh well, it is what Wikipedia uses.
