That’s how big. This little gal is probably just out of the egg. Thanks to Karen Cusick, author of Lizards on a Fence, for the photo.

We have lots of brown anoles but only a few green ones. We watch them so often that we’ve even named a few of the ones that aren’t constantly around us. They seem to know that we won’t hurt them because they don’t run from us. Do animals actually get friendlier or is this just wishful thinking on my part?
