Anolis allisoni, also known commonly as Allison's anole or Cuban blue anole is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is endemic to Cuba (except the west and the far southeast), the Bay Islands and Cayos Cochinos off the mainland of Honduras, and Half Moon Caye off the mainland of Belize.[2][3] There is also a single doubtful record from Cozumel, Mexico.[3] Recently, the species has been documented in southern Florida.[4][5][6] This diurnal species is commonly seen on palm trunks, and it feeds on invertebrates.[3] It is among the relatively few anole species in which females may lay their eggs together, forming a communal nest.[7]
