Leiocephalus carinatus
It is native to the Bahama Islands, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, and Honduras, but also was released intentionally in Palm Beach, Florida, in the 1940s in an attempt to control sugar cane pests.
An active, robust lizard, it is mostly terrestrial and will retreat into a burrow or cavity when frightened.
Thank you AshleyT for helping me ID Northern Curly-tailed Lizard/Leiocephalus carinatus.
