Anolis carolinensis
The Carolina anole is an arboreal lizard found primarily in the southeastern United States and some Caribbean islands. Other common names include the green anole, American anole and red-throated anole. It is sometimes referred to as the American chameleon due to its color-changing abilities; however, many lizards are capable of this, and anoles are not true chameleons.
Found in bushes, trees (not above 15'), in and on rock walls, woods, around houses.
This particular Anole spends the night tucked in between the downspout & our house. Every morning around 0700 eastern it comes out to sun and then jumps to the holly and starts to hunt for breakfast.
