Green anole or something else?

saleenadam Oct 07, 2007 11:05 PM

I've lived with Green Anole's around the house my whole life but have never came across one with a color pattern anything like this that I found outside my house today. I find the color so weird that I want to make sure that this is actually a Green Anole or if it is something else.

Green phase back pattern

Green phase side pattern

Brown phase

Lizard playing dead for a few seconds/belly pattern

If I had to guess, it's a Knight Anole (Anolis equestris). Are you in florida or something?

Sorry, meant to put the location. I'm just East of Houston, Texas in a city called Katy.

No, its still a male Anolis carolinensis-but a nice one.
