Anoles are our most common lizard. Many people mistake them for Chameleons, which technically they are not. Carolina or Green Anoles are reptiles that enjoy sunning themselves and showing off their bright green color. Their green changes to brown to adapt to temperature or light. Males expand their red dewlap (throat flap) to claim their territory or impress their mate. They eat live insects and are commonly found in outdoor flower pots.
