It is the 5th most-seen of the 21 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-tongued Anole is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve (35 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
