I really think that there should be less patriotism in the allowing or disallowing of the species. Green anoles are present in mighty vast numbers, and to be fair to the brown anoles, they are present in the US because they were put there by MAN. They didnt hop on a ferry, and they cant just hop on a ferry back either. Both are considered to be a pest, and both are still used to this day as snake food.

Why should the brown species suffer at the hands of man when it was we that put them on the mainland in the first place? They're only little lizards, but even so, who are we to decide whether one creature has more of a right to live than its cousin? Just because this one is "American" and the other is not. This one is green, that one is brown. We should remember instead how they got to the mainland in the first place, and leave them to their own devices.
