Cuban Green Anole

anolis porcatus

Habitat:

found on trees in forest edge habitats, In its introduced range, A. porcatus appears to be most successful in significantly disturbed habitats, such as along streets or in small parks and other areas of intense human activity.

Notes:

I believe this is a Cuban Green not the native carolinensis. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm looking at the skin patterns of dark stripes. Here of course, it is in brown camouflage color trying its best to become one with the dry seed pods of this plant. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/che...

Thanks! I'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms, I think they have a weird texture. But I did try it and taste wise it was really good, but the texture still grossed me out a little :)

I think you're right with the ID. There are only two populations established in Florida, one in south Miami and one in north Miami. Pattern seems to match to me as well. Nice find!
