Carolina Anole (Anolis carolinensis) Our resident anoles are back for the year. This one was looking proud after having caught a paper wasp.

  1. It was just to quick for the wasp to do anything about it ,I guess. Nice to have wild pets around the house. We alwise had blue tong lizards live around our veranda. Posted 4 years ago
    1. It was!

      We have Eastern fence lizards as well, but they don't become as active until it gets a little bit warmer! These green anoles are everywhere from spring until fall! We have had to take them back outside as they find their way indoors at times.

      1. Lucky! I sooo wish we had lizards roaming around here! Posted 4 years ago
      2. Not being used to it, we were shocked to have them inside of lodges in some of our first travel destinations but over time have come to love them as useful indoor friends. A permanent situation would be different though, I agree. Posted 4 years ago
        1. We don't want one of our doggies to try to play or possibly eat them, so they are best outdoors at this point! :D We don't mind them around the porch though. Hopefully the dogs haven't made a meal of them while outside, but I can't guarantee that! :P Posted 4 years ago
