Brown Anole Lizards
Native to Cuba but introduced to Florida, the Brown Anole is a close relative to the Green Anole, a native of Florida. Brown Anoles earn their name from their ability to turn numourous shades and patterns of brown and black. Unlike their Floridian coousins, however, the Brown Anole cannot turn green.

Were they introduced deliberately or accidentally? Have they had any effect on native species? Always interesting to know about these invasive species.  Good picture - the pattern on the back nicely shown.

.
They were introduced by mistake to Miami a long time ago and probably spread from there in potted plants as most of the early areas they were found in Florida were around garden centers.
