Sorry, I didn't see this earlier.

You have a great photo of a Black Spiny tailed iguana (Ctenosaur similis) native to central america, consuming a native Southeastern five lined skink.

What is curious is this species of lizard is known to be toxic to cats, so I am curious its effect on the iguana.

BTW, I work for Dr. Kenneth Krysko of the Florida Museum of Natural History on invasive species of reptiles in Florida. So if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.
