This picture was taken in Brazil, and it looks to be an Extreme to me. The author says:

We saw this when walking through a forest in Brazil, and I just had to get a picture. I creeped slowly behind it, and it turned its head. I took the photo, and look at the result!

Unfortunately, the picture doesn'y really show the size of the lizard... it was huge!

I don't think it would be too much to think they could be found in parts of Brazil as well. It borders a large part of the Grand Chaco region.

I enlarged the pic hoping to get a better look. The person labeled it as a Red tegu but I highly doubt that. Someone should try contacting them through their flickr account and ask them the exact location.

I did contact him, I am waiting for an answer, but the picture is 4 years old.

well I got an answer about where he was at, he was just outside of Iguazu.

Hello Bobby!

First of all, thank you for your interest in my photographs.

The image which you are talking about was taken just outside of Iguazu. I'm not sure how common they are in the area, but the fella we came across seemed pretty confident.

Thanks again!

Is it safe to assume the green highlight area is the Chaco region? Making the location presumably close.
