Corytophanes cristatus
An exciting spotting on our night hike.
EOL calls it casque-headed lizard. A friend of ours who has lived here his whole life (30 yrs) has never seen one.
Great looks like you've got an ID and I've learnt something new. Thanks !
Oops, my comment got deleted. My guy has a helmet, I think either helmeted basilisk or helmeted iguana, same thing as far as I can tell.

Pretty sure it's Corytophanes cristatus
It could be a Banded Anole (Anolis insignis) not displaying colours or frills !You could check this out nosarasuehttp://www.masterfile.com/stock-photogra...
