Green Anole

Thanks for your insight karen. I was just lazy with primary ID

But not to the extent true chameleons do. Have worked with both. There are huge differences between the two in habits and care: not to mention habitat and locale. I think it is best to be as precise as possible with identification. The name chameleon as applied to anole came about as a way to advertise them in the pet trade, before old world chameleons become popular pets... fortunately these days the old world chameleons are being captive raised and doing fairly well. I had feared they would be wiped out by those wanting such a unique and exotic looking pet

Anoles will change coloration from grey to bright green to blend in with their surroundings.

is the same as mine: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/642...

Chameleon is an old-world lizard. The guys with the rotating eyes, heavy set bodies and blotchy-changeable color. They can be sub tropical to tropical to desert. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chameleon

Common chameleon, anole lizard. Both are the same.

I don't think there's a difference

And I would call it a Green anole - any difference?

That's not a chameleon, it's a carolina anole lizard. I like em, they are always impressing me with their head bobbing.
