Whilst on vacation in Costa Rica, one of our destinations was the Tabacon Grand Spa located in La Fortuna De San Carlos which is right in the center of a rainforest at the base of the Arenal Volcano. This resort is famous for naturally heated, black volcanic pools of crystal clear water. A heaven on earth for anyone that loves relaxing baths, and luscious tropical gardens. However, as I am not a person who finds sweating in warm water relaxing, I instead was delighted to see that many reptiles obviously loved the humidity and warmth that these thermal hot springs had to offer. The stunning juvenile lizard in this photo was experiencing quite a relaxing day at the spa, until I arrived with my camera. So instead of relaxed, he looks incredibly annoyed at me for ruining his day by taking some photos. Those glaring yellow eyes and pursed lips make me smile every time I look at him, what a cutie!

He does look downright irate. And my, what long toes he has–all the better for climbing with, I’ll wager, and I’ll also bet he’s a incredibly fast runner!

I know, I think his grumpy face is so adorable though. He would be a very fast runner! I’m pretty sure that he is a juvenile Basilisk lizard, which can run so fast with those long toes, that they can run on the surface of water for quite some length.

That’s exactly what I was thinking, though I couldn’t come up with the name. Thanks for the confirmation!
