What is this?

Anyone in here has an idea of what this is?
I saw this one during a hiking trip in Venezuela, Isla Margarita.

Its a lizard...for sure....looks to be about a 40 footer....

Not sure really but it is a cool looking lizard. Kinda has features like a veiled chameleon but not quite. Even the toes look a chameleons.

looks to me like a anolis lizard.Also known as the American chemeleon. nice lizard.

They look more like iguana toes... chameleon toes look like this.

Not sure what it could be... it does remind me of an iguana but I don't know if there are any iguana species native to the area you were visiting.

Yuo you are right..they don't look like chameleon toes at all....they don't look like camel toes either....

Looks a lot like a Cuban knight anole, I know it's Venezuelan but I would still say it's in the Anolis genus.

Hi,
Not Anolis, but Polychrus. Polychrus have 5 species: P. acutirostris, P. femoralis, P. casuhatiensis, P. fasciatus, and P. marmoratus. Although they are not in the genus Anolis, they are still called "Bush Anoles" and "Monkey Anoles". I believe the specimen pictured is Polychrus marmoratus, the "Many-colored Bush Anole", but I've been known to be wrong.

Reptillian wasn't claiming it was a true cameleon, the common name "American chameleon" is often applied to anoles and their relatives.
