This photo comes to us from Greg Braun, who found this exceptionally patterned juvenile anole during a recent visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands. It looks to me like a striking Anolis scriptus scriptus. I have previously reported on Southern Bahamas Anoles (1,2,3) and always enjoy seeing pictures of this remarkable species. Enjoy!
