Corytophanes cristatus
Smooth-headed Iguana (Helmeted Basilisk) spotted in Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica
Rain forest floor
Originally thought this was possibly a Juvenile Common Basilisk but I think this is a Smooth-Helmeted Iguana as identified by dandoucette.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
