Have you ever seen a blue lizard?

Found in Isla Larga, Venezuela.

These little fellows roam the island, I have been to several islands (I love snorkeling) but this is the only place where I have seen them.

There are other ones, look the same except they are brown... I am guessing they are females? and the colorful males get their attraction?

Anyways, anyone has got more info on these?

Nice photo of a beautiful lizard. I'm guessing it is a species of Ameiva.

Nice capture. I particularly like the way you colored him blue using PS (just kidding)

Interesting looking fellow. No idea on what it is though.
Sorry.

Wow! What a colour! Must be hard escaping the attention of overhead predators!

Maybe his mate left him and he's feeling a little blue.
Nice capture. Love the scale pattern on the tail.

What a beautiful color. I like how you managed to get the whole lizard in the frame.
