This was in Florida a few weeks ago, I’m from thw midwest and had never been to the state before, I knew there were a ton of lizards around and people see them all the time but I never actually knew they were invasive species!
These ones are invasive. The native ones are a bright green and, if I remember right, a bit larger. I’ve been out of FL for a couple decades, so it’s sad I knew you were there just from the picture lol

If that’s anywhere in the south east US then it’s an invasive species that’s killing our native green anole.
Just saying, those become fishing bait whenever I see em.

Was this in St. Augustine? That coquina stone is everywhere there.
And it’s so rare to see a green anole anymore, I see maybe 1/10,000 living here. Last I knew, Hawaii still has the green ones though.
