  • A leery green anole rests in a patch of shrimp plants on an overcast afternoon near Weslaco, Texas.
    Green Anole Portrait
  • Native to Cuba and the Bahamas, the brown anole has been spreading across the Caribbean Islands, and into the United States and Mexico where it is often outcompeting with native wildlife, such as the American green anole. It is believed to spreading not so much by the pet trade, but by the fact that these lizards will often lay their eggs in the soil of potted plants, which many of these get imported and exported as landscape or house plants. This particular one was found sunning itself on a log alongside a green anole that scampered off as I was trying to photograph both of them together in a park near Weslaco, Texas.
