About	I'm hoping that Yamil can identify this beautiful reptile. He was a few yards from the Rio Savegre. From to my native Costa Rican adviser, Yamil Saenz: he is a male Green spiny lizard (Scelophorus malachiticus). See his comments below.

Yamil: Thank you very much for your information. He was a fine specimen indeed. Thank you for your kind comments. Pura Vida!

Dave: He was very accommodating and held very still. the fact that it was about 15°C perhaps had an influence as well. Thanks for your comments. See Yamil's description for more information.

Hi Fred,
This one is a male Green spiny lizard (Scelophorus malachiticus). Females are grey and a lot less colorful than males.
To answer Dave's question, with tail included, it can measures about 200 mm (almost 8 inches).
The grey coloration at the end of its tail means that it got broken at some point and grew back.
Congratulations for another great capture.
Yamil

Nice capture of this guy, Fred! I like the detail and texture you've got, as well as the colours. How big was he?
