Yea, there are so many different kinds and they all have different color morphs. It sucks trying to ID them! In college I had to count scales to ID some specimens in our museum and it drove me crazy!

Thanks sunswimer, I went looking through the anoles - hopeless!!

Its some kind of anole but I dont know which one. They are cute little guys! Well, this one looks a little round in the middle so maybe I should "gals" if its a gravid female.
