That’s not an anole, it’s an anole shadow on the underside of the frond. Try tying a tag on that: not even a sight record!
I have a photo of the shadow of a green anole (carolinensis) up on a palm frond that looks a lot like this shadow, but carolinensis seems too easy to be the answer.
Well, It might very well be a male ‘Norops’..
I’ll take a guess that it’s A. chlorocyanus
Could it be Norops sagrei? Oh, *sorry*, “Anolis” sagrei?
Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one. Good work KarenC–it’s a green anole, Anolis carolinensis. The top anole is from South Carolina, and more specifically from Richard Bernabe Photography’s Facebook page, whereas the lower one, from east Texax, can be viewed at dogwood_springs_photography’s flickr page
This one, from Hawaii, is more recognizable as carolinensis
