Barbados Anole (Anolis extremus) - 20230201-04

The Barbados anole is a species of anole lizard that is native to Barbados, an island-nation in the Caribbean. Originally endemic to Barbados, it has since been introduced to Saint Lucia and Bermuda.

Males have pale lavender to blue-gray heads, with blue eyelids. Their dorsal surfaces are deep green with dark markings and occasionally white spots, and their bellies are yellow. Females are smaller and duller in color and may have a mid-dorsal stripe.

It has been reported in Florida since the 1990s, though this is likely due to repeated introductions and escapes as a sustained, breeding population has not been confirmed. (Wikipedia)

These little lizards were everywhere! Very bold and not at all shy, they let you get pretty close before leaping away. This male was checking up on the identification of a plant that he had been contemplating for lunch.
