It is, perhaps, a bit of irony that our reptiles, which are mostly found only on this island and sometimes nearby islands, often don’t seem to have local names. Or maybe they do and I just don’t know what they are. What do you call this lizard?
This species is also found on Anguilla and St. Barths, but the subspecies only lives on St. Martin. On Tintamarre, it is the same subspecies found on other islands, perhaps because the ocean currents make it easier to colonize Tintamarre from St. Barths, even though St. Martin is closer.
