Honduran Club-tail Iguana
Ctenosaura flavidorsalis (Kohler and Klemmer, 1994)

Once considered the species C.quinquecarinata, these Ctenosauras from eastern Guatemala, eastern San Salvador, to south west and central Honduras were re-classified in 1994 as C.flavidorsalis. These small iguanas are generally brownish tan in color with males having a high degree of yellow suffused with black dorsally. Recorded snout / vent lengths are around 160 cm (6 3/8 inches). Females are probably a little shorter. An inhabitant of tropical dry forests and subtropical dry forests, its diet is made up of small leaves and insects.
