So thats my trip. Sorry for the obscenely large photos. I just got my DSLR 2 weeks before the trip and this was my absolute first time actually doing photography so i'm learning slowly. Try to guess the species and at some point i'll list them out for you.

Enjoy,
Alex

Imantodes sp., Norops capito, Norops biporcatus, & Ameiva festiva. There were a lot of pics I could only ID down to family, Leptodactylidae, Bufonidae, Hylidae, Viperidae, Colubridae, and so on.
