The other day, I noticed what appeared to be an anole that was slightly larger than our brown anoles. I looked at the size, color, general pattern, and the apparent v-shaped back, that went all the way from the head to the end of its tail.

The color, a very dull light brown or beige, which kind of reminds me of the color of a golden (aka banana) gecko. The body was slightly stockier/larger than our other anoles around here, and I just did not know what it was.

Any way, I googled for information regarding different species, and found pictures of a peurto-rican crested anole, which had whole body shots as well as close ups of the head and eyes, and I'm certain that it was a Peurto-Rican Crested Anole.

I know these are non-native species, but has any one ever seen them this far north? That is, around Bradford county, Florida.
