These pictures  illustrate  how lizards may camouflage themselves with their surroundings. The dewlap  protruding from under the neck (above) was probably a hint at him defending his territory as I edged closer but he soon retreated to rely on his camouflage for cover.

The lizard, 2nd to the right above, is distinctly different to the other tree lizards. Its skin is a single color that lacks any striking patterns. It was found mainly around building but is obviously not a house gecko. 

 
-Natural Selection

The lizard may be found in gardens and in the wild throughout Anguilla. and tends to feed on ants and other small insects.

These two tree lizards, photographed mating, allows for a clear comparison of the size difference between the male and female.
