In the 1950's, my mom and her parents had a green anole. During the day, they would let it run loose in the house. Although it had access to the whole house, it chose to stay on the living room curtains most of the time. In the evening, they would find it and it would voluntarily crawl onto one of their hands and get put back in its enclosure. It lived like this for at least three years without incident and then apparently died of natural causes.

Recently, I suggested to my mom that she might consider getting a green anole since she had liked this one so much. I had to explain to her that it would not normally be considered a good idea to give it the run of the whole four bedroom house!
