Andy shared this photo that he captured of a Green Anole, the only anole species native to Florida.
Green anoles are medium-sized lizards with long tails. Sometimes called chameleons because of their color-changing abillity, they can be anywhere from emerald green to brown or gray. When stressed, they turn dark brown.
They’re getting harder and harder to find with competition from the hardy and non-native brown anoles, so it’s always nice, though increasingly rare, to spot an actual native lizard here on Sanibel!
