Iguana iguana
This large green iguana was basking in the sun wearing it fall and winter colored skin. They are green in the summer but change as winter approaches. I had never seen one quite this bright orange.
Along the banks of an inland fresh water canal
He must have been tired or bored as in the third picture you can see him yawning.

I think that's the reason!! And we picked that info up when visiting Costa Rica
Thanks for that information Karen. If breeding males are this bright it's for sure that the females can't ignore them!
That is the male's breeding color!
Very nice series!
