Description
I posted one of these Anole's a couple of posts ago, but I thought I would post a male in the process of attracting the female. The things us males will do to get some attention!
Green Anole
Anoles carolinensis
Body length: 5-8 in..
The green Anole is a relative common lizard, slight in build, with a narrow head and a long, slender tail that can be twice as long as the rest of the animal. Color can vary from gray-brown, to brown, to bright green; each animal can change its color to blend with surroundings. Males can have a noticeable dewlap that is pink when displayed. Commonly referred to as a "chameleon" due to its ability to change color, but not a true chameleon.
Anoles eat small insects and spiders.
Breeds from late March through early October. Lays a single white egg, which it buries in loose, moist leaf litter. Young hatch after 5-7 weeks. I have these in my yard and they are quite fast and not good models...for me catching one on camera was a treat.
Thanks for your kind comments on my previous posts and hope everyone had a great Easter! Aloha!

Wow, they're very special animals and I surely would have confused them with chamaleons not knowing better.... Excellent work, love those colors!
So hard to capture that moment, and you do it so well. Superb composition and color, this one is definately top shelf! :)
