Black Spiny-tailed Iguana

Ctenosaura similis

Habitat:

Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica

Notes:

The guy lives under a deck next to a resort pool. I see this species everywhere here, however, this is one of the most impressive in color and size.

They are prolific here Emma. However, if you go north to Nicaragua there are very few. They have been used as a food source.
