    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.

      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!

        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.

        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
