Great photo! It would be great if you added your spotting to the "Reptiles of Costa Rica" mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1589986014

The scientific name of the green iguana is Iguana iguana. Please insert this into the space reserved for scientific name (while editing) so that your spotting is marked as identified in the Project Noah spotting database. Thanks

For sure a juvenile Iguana iguana.

Yeah. It does seem to have the face of an Iguana. And the claws. If you saw it had a really long tail, it probably is.

Looks like a baby Iguana, Iguana iguana, Green Iguana. Please, verify!
