Esquinas Rainforest Lodge, Golfito region, Puntarenas province, Costa Rica
This odd little lizard resided in the wall of the Esquinas Lodge bar. At night it would sneak out of a corner hole and prowl for insects drawn by a light. I saw it sticking its head out, but it didn't stay out long enough for a picture.
This lizard was identified by herpetologist Bill Lamar of GreenTracks. Here is a complete list of the species we found on this GreenTracks trip.
