  Indeed! And it's so common over the islands that locals have completely stopped paying attention to them!

Incredible island endemic!

I'm seeing a small challenge in the common name. It seems multiple species carry the common name "Rainbow lizard" or "Rainbow whiptail". This could be a problem when people type it when identifying, because it can lead to multiple species, not necessarily the correct one. I tried to find a more explicit common name but no luck so far.

  Hmmm yeah, I couldn't find anything else either. If you'd like, I could make up something, like Old Providence Rainbow whiptail of something ;) Posted 7 years ago
