Description
A. leachii is light bright green, with the colour fading into a greyish brown down the length of the tail. The head is grey to brown, with a yellowish orange dewlap and dark brown to black speckling or mottling; in some individuals this speckling or mottling extends down the shoulders and across their whole backs. A. leachii is diurnal oviparous.

Range & habitat
A. leachii is native to Antigua and Barbuda, but has been introduced to and is widespread in Bermuda, and has also been introduced to Saint Thomas, US Virgin Islands and Montserrat. An effort to eradicate the species from Saint Thomas was undertaken in 2015, but photographic evidence indicates it may have been unsuccessful. The fate of the Montserrat population after the 1995 Soufrière Hills eruption that destroyed much of the island is unknown. In its 2015 assessment of the species the IUCN listed it as being of least concern.
