Iguana iguana
This huge male green iguana claimed ownership of the west side of my backyard, strutting all around and waving his dewlap to warn me and all other competitors away. A similarly large male was claiming the east side of the backyard at the same time. This one has black markings around his eyes and on his face which is a little different from the typical ones.
Along an inland fresh water canal in western Boca Raton, FL
There has been an explosion in the green iguana population in this area this summer. It is not unusual to see over a dozen of all sizes at the same time. They are in trees (not the big iguanas like this), on house roofs and swimming in the canal. I have a youTube video of this guy here: https://youtu.be/yHQa0DJCLX8
