Looks to me like another, very small, brown anole, head down, right under the big guy’s jaw…. Tail, banded, under his chin, going straight up the tree…. I see both eyes, snout-tip…. Of course I am just talkin’ — there is no MCZ tag tied to it so it does not exist, as EEW would have pointed out…. Skip
