Beaded Lizard, Heloderma horridum charlesbogerti (see p. 176). For details visit www.IRCF.org.

Ctenosaura bakeri lives an unusual life in the mangrove forests on Isla
de Utila, Honduras; both the mangrove forests and nesting beaches are
threatened by development (see article on p. 108).

Nose-rub, clearly evident in this Emerald Treeboa (Corallus caninus),
is indicative of being kept in an inappropriate enclosure. This may
reflect neglect in other aspects of care (see article on p. 133).

The conservation status of the Exuma Island Rock Iguana, Cyclura
cychlura figginsi, was one of many discussed during the IUCN Iguana
Specialist Group Meeting in November 2005 (see article on p. 116).
