We have anoles here that look similar. The green ones are native, they are chameleons, they can change color to match the background. Then we have non native, invasive Cuban brown anoles, which are less attractive.

Fuzz enjoys catching both kinds and bringing them in the house if I have the door open during the temperate months of the year. She makes a weird noise, when she does, so I know what's up. Usually, I can catch the anole and take it safely back outside.

I think the brown anoles have taken control of the garage, though, because sometimes I go out to the garage and Celia Cruz is playing on the stereo out there.

Anoles are quite common in humid areas. Florida has big old Iguanas walkin' around and up in the trees. I saw a massive multicolor grasshopper there once. I thought I was on drugs. Wait, maybe I was, but I swear I saw it.

We've got lots of plants in our sunroom. Two years a panicked Anole darted in from outside, and we couldn't get him back out. The number of plant related bugs has dropped....And there are currently three Anoles living inside. We put out food and water for them and they race from plant to plant. Often find them lounging about in the leaves. All in all it seems we have set up a but if an ecosystem by accident...

I like the geckos but for some reason the anoles annoy me. Not sure if its the throat thing. I just don't like them.


Im wondering if anyone here got my bad Wall Street reference with Gordon Gekko. Not a single mention. Maybe my kids are right about bad dad jokes...

I got nailed by a centipede when I was living in St. Kitts. I was pretty sure a coal from the fire had jumped out and landed on my foot.
