Hispaniolan Masked Curlytail
Leiocephalus personatus
The Hispaniolan masked curlytail inhabits dry open woodland, coastal dunes and settled areas of Hispaniola. Males have a dark facial mask and colorful sides, and the tail can curl upward during activity or display. It is kept and bred in specialist lizard collections. Housing provides usable ground space, sunny basking areas, rocks and sheltered retreats, with insects as food.
Females lay eggs in protected sites under stones or roots. Young resemble females before mature males develop their brighter colors; adult males defend territories.
