Costa Rican Lizards
All these lizards were in Manuel Antonio National Park at the start of May:
1) Large lizard, iguana size.
2) An anole - he was hunting a butterfly
3) Maybe a baby green iguana?
4) Maybe a baby brown basilisk?
5) No idea...small guy

So common or striped basilisks? I'm thinking common since they were at sea level, but don't really know how to tell the difference. Looking at photos, it appears the common ones all have stripes too.

So that's the common name of those! I've always just called them ctenosaurs.
I think the last lizard in post #1 could be Ameiva quadrilineata (Four-Lined Whiptail) definitely a whiptail of some sort.

Re: Costa Rican Lizards
Cool pictures! Love the last one where the gecko is eating a moth.

I think you've set me on the right track. Looking up the ameivas, I don't believe it's a four-lined, but rather a Central American Whiptail (ameiva festiva).
File:Tiger Ameiva.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ameiva sp. (festiva) Manuel Antonio NP | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Both those photos say they were taken in Manuel Antonio as well...
Now, does anyone have any guesses on the anole?

Re: Costa Rican Lizards
The gecko is a Mourning Gecko, not a House Gecko. Not sure but the anole could be a Puerto Rican Anole, Anolis evermanni.

Thanks for the gecko ID! Is the one in this set a common house gecko?
I've been googling a lot on the anole and I now believe it's the Neotropical Green Anole.
I also found that I did have four-striped whiptails as well in my collection of photos. Here's a couple pictures. And yes, they're doing it.
