These things are sooo hard to photograph. Good job Mauna. Thanks.

Yes its difficult to tell them apart when they are brown if you don't see them all the time. I hope you get to see a green one!

Hi Machi. Thanks for the correction. A couple of images threw me off: https://goo.gl/images/UDLpGm I get fooled by these anoles!

Mauna, this is a brown anole. The nose is a bit different and Carolina Anoles don't have those white markings on the sides when they are brown.
