Carolina Anole

This little guy and his family spend lots of time around our house.  This is probably more than you want to know about Carolina anole, but here goes from Wikipedia:  The Carolina anole is a small to medium-sized lizard, with a slender body. The head is long and pointed with ridges between the eyes and nostrils, and smaller ones on the top of the head. The toes have adhesive pads to facilitate climbing. They exhibit sexual dimorphism, the males being fifteen percent larger. The male dewlap (throat fan) is three times the size of the female's and red, whereas that of the female is white.  Color varies from brown to green and can be changed like many other kinds of lizards, but anoles are closely related to iguanas and are not true chameleons.  The typical coloration for a green anole ranges from the richest and brightest of greens to the darkest of browns, with little variation in between.
