The Colorful Caiman Lizard

Caiman Lizard, Dracaena guianensis, relaxing in some shallow water. These lizards are at home at in the water, hailing from the Amazon basin, where they feast on snails and other crustaceans. These are a photographic favorite, due to their vibrant, glossy colors; this one was even sporting a reflection in the water! What more could you ask for?

Lizards Snuggle Too!

Escargot Eater!

Caiman Lizard, Dracaena guianensis. I saw this little beauty climbing out of the water onto this branch. It is from the Amazon floodplains and, yes, eats snails! Totally awesome. I could use one in the yard! Well, maybe not but it's still pretty cool!
