Field Notes

Description:

Adult green anoles reach 5-8 in. (12.5-20.3 cm). This diurnal lizard may appear completely green, green and brown, or completely brown. A pattern may also be present in the form of dark slate grey streaks or spots. When found with a brown coloration, many individuals may also have a lighter stripe down the back. The throat fan, or dewlap, of this species is bright pink.

Habitat:

I went to close the screen on the sliding door and this fellow popped out and gave me an accusing look. It apparently lives up in the track.
