Anolis sagrei
This anole is a different variety because of the raised scales down it's back. They tend to drive out the smooth backed anoles. This one looks like he has had plenty to eat.
This one lives on the back-side of my garden. Most of the others live in my Pipevine close to the house.

You may be right Claire. I got a book today that suggests the more mature male grows a raised ridge on his back. Somewhere I had heard differently, but you know how myths get started.
I've been wondering if this is a different species or just a mature male.
