Depends on where the hotels is. If its in the middle of town, then you could probably find lizards and such. But if its out near the boonies, then I imagine there is lots to be found.

If you're in Varadero (the ONLY place to stay in Cuba, heh heh) you will see literally 500+ lizards per day. Anoles being the bulk of that. Its insane. You'll never catch them though. They are faster than greased lightning!! LOL!
hehehe, no snakes i guess...?

If I remember correctly there are only 5 or 6 species of snakes in Cuba. I know there is the Cuban Racer, Cuban Boa, Blind Snake, and I think there are a couple other small burrowing colubrids.

672,
If you get the chance to get out from the resort and do a little hunting, and happen to cross a cuban wood snake (or any other of theTropidophiidae (9 sp. in cuba), be sure to grab a few pictures, especially if you cross an orange individual.
Good Luck, and have fun too!
