Sherry McClead March 17, 2009
Thanks Christine... no this guy was sunning himself on a hook that holds a bird feeder... coming right out of the azalea bush about 3ft from the front door. He let me take several shots of him just like a regular model.Sherrybear #7296893

Isn't this called a Valentine Lizard? ('Cuz he LOOKS like he has swallowed HALF of a HEART???!!!)I love the shape of his head. If he was around in Fred Flintstones day, I bet he was used as NEEDLE NOSED PLIERS! Ha!
Love him! -Sis #7299121
Sherry McClead March 18, 2009
Too funny Laura... don't know always called them green lizards... guess I could look him up...Sherrybear #7299161
Laura E. Swan March 18, 2009
I was just joshin' about the Valentine. :) #7299188Sherry McClead March 18, 2009
Well he is called a Green Anole... and are sometimes called "American chameleons" A pink dewlap (throat fan) under the neck is found in both genders although it is much larger in the males. Anoles spread the dewlap in defending their territories, during courtship and during threat behavior.Sherrybear #7299206
