Green anole and five-lined skink

Anolis carolinensis, Plestiodon fasciatus

Description:

A 5 inch male green anole and a 5 inch male five-lined skink.

Habitat:

Rocks and other structure around wooden porch in a 75 acre upland hardwood forest tract.

Notes:

This seemed like an unusual interspecies relationship with these two lizards resting on the electrical box side by side. The male anoles are very territorial, do push-ups, and extend their pink dewlaps when other male anoles are around. They seemed oblivious to each other. I wonder how their diets differ.
