[creep]

Here is a few photos of the different Reptiles I found on my honeymoon in turks and caicos islands. It was awesome. My wife still thinks im a reptile freak though.

These little lizards were everywhere they were called Curly tail lizard, when they run its pretty fun their tails curl up!

I didnt actually catch an reptiles the the 4th day of my trip.

Bahaman Anoles were abundant too

Large tree frog of some sort

At night there were tons little house geckos!

this one got in my shower somehow, saved him from a watery death.

Dwarf Boa Constrictor I found on our excursion! He was just hiding under the
one rock I moved.

Then there were the Rock iguanas from Iguana Island. Some of my favorite

And this is the beautiful island we stayed on.

Hope you enjoyed my photos!

Those curly tails are very neat, I got to see them when I worked on Parrot Cay resort for a few days. They are pretty big, and not exactly Jeweled or the regular brown ones either. There is also a land iguana there that has the same tail that curls up!

Very Cool!
The tree frog is a "Cuban Tree Frog". The geckos are a "Hemidactlyus sp.", the same one I find all the time in FL. The anole I'm not sure of, but its very neat looking though. Reminds me of a "Crested Anloe". Looks like you had fun. Thanks for Sharing!!!

I have the curly tails all over my yard! I used to hand feed one of them but after the hurricanes down here he disappeared and I never saw him again! Nice pics and what a beautiful place to stay!

ya i loved to chase the curly tails. they are so fat and slow. its funny to see them run. Sorry to hear about them leaving though. I know the Hurricanes messed up A LOT of stuff down in the Islands. The natives said IKE was the most devastating. So it is sad
