Thanks...just cropped the same pic really close and added it after...I was looking on my other viewer and was zooming it really close... couldn't figure out WHY no one else was seeing what I saw!! I'll remember that this doesn't zoom a lot in the future!!!!!! ;-)

If you had posted the #1 as first one, I would never have guessed Iguana. So, sorry and Oops!!

Ehm... really? Norops biporcatus? Hhmm... Are you sure? Opps?...

Bayucca, you're usually spot-on, but I did some hunting and I am now pretty sure this is an anole lizard - I know it's not an iguana! I just don't know the exact species. Thanks though! Love the attached pics!!
