and now for a TRULY AWFUL pic. He was inflating this throat and I had no time to set anything and I wanted to catch the pic before the opportunity disappeared, so don't laugh too hard, ok?

so that brings me to my question, what the heck is it? we've got these things all over the place at my house and i'm just curious what it is.
Thanks, jb

JMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

Yep. They invaded from Cuba many years ago and have just about wiped out the native pretty green anoles that were common when I was a kid.

Yep, very common. grap them by the tail and it will fall off. Kinda freaked me out when I came down here. I've lived here 6 years and cought my first green about a month ago. Greens are sooooooo much better looking than browns

he came back. tried my hardest to get a good shot of him extending his throat, but just couldn't do it... this was the best i could do... not great, but better than the blurry pic, lol.

JB,
. When I was a kid these lizards were only in south Florida. About 1964 we saw them in Key West and a few years later they were very common in the Miami area. Over the years they have gradually spread northward and are now very common there in central Florida. They can climb almost as well as the Green Anoles, Anolis carolinensis (I bet I spelled that incorrectly) but you probably will notice that they generally spend much more time on the ground than the Green Anoles. It was feared that this imports would completely displace the less aggressive Greens but they seem to coexist pretty well with the Bahamians on the ground and only a little ways up the vegetation and the Greens often further up in the greenery. Both do very well and are common around manmade structures. They both can eat amazingly large roaches.
