Here is some info from someone much better educated on the subject than myself. I thought it was worth passing along.
"The iguanas that
are common here are Iguana iguana, common name is
Green Iguana or Green Tree Iguana. They are not
protected, they are invasive exotics that can cause a
problem when they overpopulate as they can eat bird
eggs and disturb other creatures that use the same
habitat. A few people started raising them as pets
and now they are everywhere here.
Someone called them green anole and Anolis cuvieri.
That is the Culebra Giant Anole that is listed as
Endangered and has not been documented here since the
1930's. Its habitat is the Mt Resaca area.
The Mona Iguana is not here, it is on Mona Island."
