During July-August 2016, I went for a three-weeks holiday trip to Cuba. Being a Ph.D. student at the Lizard Lab, I had to come back with pictures of… lizards of course. This post is dedicated only to the anole species I observed in Cuba. Any help to ID will be greatly appreciated! More of my pictures of the Cuban herpetofauna (anole and non anole) can be found on my website website.

Hello Arnaud,
1) A. sagrei male with a extraordinary dewlap color
3 c) A. porcatus male (or possibly a hybrid with A. allisoni)
5) A. argenteolus (juvenil)
6) A. angusticeps male
Best wishes Axel

Hi Axel, thanks for your help!
Alberto R Estrada
Anolis from image 5 is an argenteolus
Do you have more images of Viñale #6?
Alberto R Estrada
The green coloration of the anolia # 6 is real, or lighting effect? Never in my life have I seen a angusticeps with that color !!. A. paternus usually yellowish tones but I’ve never seen in Viñales

Hi Alberto,
Yes, it is a real coloration, no light effect on the picture. The lizard was found in the valley of Viñales. I have 2 more pics of this same individual but I can’t manage to add them to this comment. I’ll try to add them to the main article.
