Adventure Travel Caribbean Mexico Picture of the Day

Gumbo's Pic of the Day, Nov 20th, 2014: Playa Del Carmen. Mexico

You'll often find you've made a new friend in Mexico.

Maybe leave a few crumbs on your sun lounger.

Or a bag of goodies worth climbing into.

But these guys love to catch the sun on your towel.

Gives them a break from burning their feet in the hot summer sun.

Harmless and really beautiful.

Like your first date.

Just leaves you unsure what to do next.

Are these some type of Iguana ?

You would see up to 15 of these round the pool.

And all look completely different.

Looks like he's at least a meter long. Handsome fellow, though that skin looks a little scaly -- needs some moisturizer.

Believe it is an iguana.

Perhaps that un-moisturised skin is why he's survived so long !

Who wants an Iguana with skin soft enough for a purse......
