Do you know what species of lizard this is? Pay special attention to the curled tail. He was spotted on the Bahamian island of Castaway Cay earlier in the month. Thanks

Certainly one of the genus Leiocephalus of Curly-tailed lizards which are common throughout the Caribbean. There are over 25 species - sorry, can't narrow this one down to species.

I have next to no knowledge of these lizards. I did find this on Wiki if it helps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiocephalus_carinatus

Don't know if other members of the genus overlaps in range.
