Got a bit of an iguana fetish there? :) I don't blame you. Wild but socialized iguanas are fun. :)
I don't think the lizard in your first pic is a chameleon. The feet are all wrong, as chameleon feet have opposable digits for branch-grasping. In fact, it has iguana feet. (Note the long 4th toe, which is, I believe, exclusive to the iguana family.) So my initial guess would be an iguana of some sort. There are dozens of species of them. Most lizards, after all, have at least limited color-changing ability, though most are not the masters that the chameleons are. Iguanas are no exception.
Thanks for sharing the pics. Wanna go back to Aruba...
