This large male anole has survived the bot fly parasite which has killed so many anoles in my yard.

Observed by Bobby Walker. Eating a rabbit.

I mean seriously - how cute are they?! :D

Found last year, just uploading to the most accurate location possible!

This is the first time I’ve been bitten by one (although it didn’t break skin)

Lack of any rattle. Possibly due to predation or shed issue.

The snake was hit by a car when trying to take picture. When it was slithering away the back half seemed to be dragging. The snake was rattling when crawling and when cooled in grass.

Made my day to say the least.

I glimpsed a very similar-looking snake in a similar wash a couple hundred meters away, but couldn’t confirm the ID.
