It's not a Leopard Gecko, but...

I know it isn't a Leopard Gecko, but I saw this lizard in my yard and LOVED the color. The picture doesn't do it justice. I was wondering if anyone had any clue about the type.

Where are you located? That could help us narrow it down I've seen lizards all over from Florida to California. It kind of has the general shape of an Anole...?

Looks like a type of anole but i could be wrong. the nose does look a little short for an anole...but its nice either way, good shot!

Cool, I think that is an anole!!??

Where abouts did you spot this little fella?

I wish we had cool lizard wild life in Maryland!

 

[MagicalGecko]

Sorry, guys. I live in Fort Myers, Florida. Yeah we have several anoles down here, I just have never really seen one with this bright of a color.

looks like a red phase brown anole id catch it and another and breed it to see if its genetic

 

[MagicalGecko]

Thanks, guys. I may try and see if I can catch it.

looks like a quick one

The short nose is because its a Bahama, or diamondback anole. They seem less stressed than the green/brown anoles in captivity. I personally wish I had room for a large group of them. I'd guess the one in the picture is a female.
