Guess this Reptile!!!

[Removed_2815]

Greetings,
Well, I thought it might be a hoot to crop some of my pictures to show just the animal's skin or other discerning features and have you guys attempt to identify the species. If you have been paying attention to some of my posts here you should have no problem!
Have fun!
Cheers,
Ryan M Bolton

Wow, great observation Captain Obvious, no wonder you are banned. I can only attach one image at a time, just trying to "challenge" my fellow herpers with a friendly ID game.
