    Not an expert in it either, but are you sure it's a skink? I'm asking because most skinks seem to have fatter bodies. It has the slender build of a gecko, but I'm not sure. Posted 10 years ago

    My best guess for this one would be The Smooth Anole (Norops rodriguezii). The red just under its head is likely the mating flap along with its slender toes suggest its an anole. Posted 10 years ago

      It could be one of 46 species of Anolis, too bad we can't see the whole dewlap.
