The rainbow agama is yet another introduced species now established and living in south Florida. There's a robust population of these lizards at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida. The individual featured here is an adult male. Females are much smaller and have a more mottled appearance.

Non-native to the state, the brown basilisk is now established in south Florida. There is a particularly dense population of them at Matheson Hammock Park in Coral Gables, Florida.

As I work through my library and upload species photos, I have to laugh that I nearly forgot the Carolina green anole, Anolis carolinensis carolinensis. Heh. A fairly abundant lizard in Florida. My apologies for nearly forgetting you, Carolina green.

The Puerto Rican crested anole is now firmly established in parts of South Florida, in this case Coral Gables. The ground around Fairchild Botanical Garden and Matheson Hammock Park are densely populated by the gorgeous anoles (in addition to other anole species, native and introduced alike).
