Various Reptiles we saw on Cayman While on Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, we saw a plethora of different lizards. On Cayman Brac there were lots of ring-tailed lizards, but on Little Cayman we saw LOTS of Iguana. They even have the right of way on the road so you have to drive carefully.

This guy sat on the pile of rocks outside of our cabin - Big Iguana
This was the biggest one we saw on Little cayman - "You got some banana?"
- Catch!
- One moment before the bite
This was taken about 1/2 second before it bit Sara. She was hoping that he would grab the banana out of her hand, but it couldn't tell where her hand ended and the banana began - Zoologists tagging iguanas
Luckily they were tagging iguanas right near us when Sara got bitten. They were able to reassure her that iguana bites are common and she wouldn't get sick from the bite - "I'm coming to get you..."

- "Back off"
The iguanas started fighting over the banana pieces when we went back out to feed them. - "Ohhh... Running away...."
