Description:

" Bark Anoles are Florida's smallest anole, reaching a maximum length of 12.7 cm (5 in). Its coloration and pattern are changeable, but the Florida Bark Anole has some shade of gray, green, brown, or almost black. When sleeping with tail tightly coiled, however, bark anoles may appear putty-colored or almost white. The Florida Bark Anole has a dark line across and between the eyes and a prominently banded tail. Two small, eyelike spots are often present on the back of the head, and 4 vague, backward-pointing chevrons are often on the back. The dewlap is yellow with a pale orange blush." http://www.floridiannature.com/Anoles.ht...
