Habitat: Semiarboreal. Lives on the ground and low in shrubs and trees. Like to bask on sunny rocks.
Range: This species is native to Cuba and the Bahamas, but was introduced into south Florida and now lives throughout the state. It has out-competed and driven out the native Green Anole.
Where to Find: Don't look for Brown Anoles around Las Vegas. Rather, look for them on trips to Florida (e.g., Ding Darling NWR, the City of Dunedin, Everglades National Park, and the Miami area are good places to find them). |
