Thanks, but no...it was fruit from a tree on the beach...I think I have a pic of the tree the fruit came from...if you want me to post it...if you could figure it out! ;-) (I do have room for another pic here!)

No argument here!! ;-) Thanks Bayucca, and thanks Livan for the ID!
NO, this time I wouldn't be fooled ;-)... This is definitely Ctenosaura similis!
