    "The Lesser Antilles Iguana has a more blocky, shortened face than the Green Iguana and lacks the distinctive stripe pattern present along the Green Iguana's tail. The feature that most easily distinguishes these two species is the large, round scale that the Green iguana has below each ear hole but which the Lesser Antillean Iguana lacks."
    This one has both the stripes on the tail and the round scale so it is a green iguana.     Posted 10 years ago

The Green iguana

The green iguana or common iguana is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus "Iguana" native to Central, South America, and the Caribbean. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area, from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico and the Caribbean Islands.
