This cross-stitch was created by Anne Fraser of Calgary, Alberta from a photograph of Carley, a Blue Iguana (Cyclura lewisi) at the Captive Breeding
Facility on Grand Cayman. The piece, which measures 6.8 x 4.2 inches, uses 6,100 stitches in 52 colors and took 180 hours to complete. It will
be auctioned by the IRCF at the Daytona International Reptile Breeder’s Expo on 20 August 2005. Profits from the auction will benefit conser-
vation projects for West Indian Rock Iguanas in the genus Cyclura.

A subadult Stout Iguana (Cyclura pinguis) awaiting release at the head-
starting facility on Anegada (see article on p. 78).

Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) reach the northernmost extent
of their range on the bluff prairies in Wisconsin (see article on p. 90).

Spiny-tailed Iguanas (Ctenosaura similis) are abundant in archaeologi-
cal zones on the Yucatán Peninsula. This individual is on the wall
around the Mayan city of Tulúm (see article on p. 112).

Red-bellied or Black Racers (Alsophis rufiventris) remain abundant on
mongoose-free Saba and St. Eustatius, but have been extirpated on St.
Christopher and Nevis (see article on p. 62).
