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.

Where do you live? Can't imagine all the effort it would take to catch all the brown anoles in Orlando.

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.

It was actually! This is in a little outlet at the front entrance to the Castillo De San Marcos. We went to Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Orlando while we were down there and saw these guys running around in all 3 cities
