Anatole is the largest of our resident Anole lizards. He lives inside our screen room and although he’s cute and very well-behaved, is never allowed into the house. He seems quite content to peer at us through the glass doors and occasionally goes over to chat to the fish in our pond; but they are a story for another day,
Wishing you all a splendid and relaxing weekend.

YIKES …. we get them on our lanai too. The smaller ones my hubby’s cat brings into the house as gifts for him. I scream and run away while hubby pets him and says, ‘Good Boy’. It’s tough being the only woman in the house. Nice photograph of this one which is the only way I want to see one. : )

Anatole seems cute enough, but I understand why he remains in the outskirts of the family 🙂 Lovely capture, Sylvia. Hugs!
*hugs* back, Helen. xx
Now that’s a good caption (in the title) for that pic.
Thank you. 🙂
Can’t beat a well-mannered lizard! Take care, Ad! Hope you’re making good progress. 🙂 🙂
That’s for sure. Manners maketh the lizard. 🙂 xx
What a chirpy little chap
He does look very happy, Pauline. 🙂
Wait a cute fellow. Greetings sweets. XOXO – Bacon
Hi, dear Bacon. I hope you had a good and not too scary Halloween. 🙂 xx
It was perfect my friend. Hope yours was good too ❤ XOXO – Bacon
He looks ready for action.
He’s always on the go. 🙂
Anatole is a very handsome fellow, Sylvia!
I so agree with you, Lavinia. 🙂
Your menagerie grows Sylvia. Very handsome fellow!
Yes it certainly does, and we’ve now added eight fish to our collection. 🙂
What a fabulous portrait!
Thank you. 🙂
I’ll be waiting to hear if makes the run for an open door one day.
I really hope he does, but he seems to be quite content in his cage. I think he must have a wife because I’ve seen a couple of tiny lizards running around the plant pots. 🙂
He is adorable, or is he a she?
Thanks, Cathy. I really wouldn’t know what to look for, even if I managed to catch him to inspect his/hers underneath bits. 🙂
What a poser? 🙂 How do you ensure he doesn’t slink in?
Hi, Madhu. How lovely to see you here. 🙂 We generally close the door behind us, so that he can’t sneak in.
Anatole – you look great!
He really does. He never has a bad hair or makeup day. 🙂
😁
I would not like it in my house. Outside is better 🙂
Agreed, wholeheartedly. 🙂
He looks very bright and curious.
Haha Ues, he certainly does look very curious and alert. 🙂
Happy Sunday Sylvia , love this cute fellow!
Thanks, Anna. Glad you like Anatole. 🙂
It’s the same as the geckos in my bathroom – how many flies can there be for them to eat? And where do they go in the winter?
So many questions, Marina. I don’t have the answers. Winter doesn’t seem to come to Florida. 🙂
Isn’t he cute! (But he should stay out 😊.)
Thanks, Lynette. I agree with you. 🙂
He’s cute…and quite curious. 🙂
Yes, he is. 🙂
Love the look on his face, Sylvia!
Me too, Jane. He’s a sweet little guy. 🙂
Lovely to meet you, Anatole!
janet
Haha. He says, “Thanks, Janet.” 🙂
He’s cute. Hope you are well, Sylvia.
Thanks so much, Jessica. Yes, I am very well. 🙂
I wonder what he makes of it when he peers through the window at you..
I wonder that too, Gerrie. 🙂
I know these guys well. They are really happy to live (or come to visit) your screen room but never come into your house. At least for what I’ve seen them in Fl.
Yes, he hasn’t made an effort to come into the house……yet. I’m always on the lookout, though. 🙂
We don’t invite the little lizards in either . . . but they occasionally sneak in and have to be “relocated” back to the either side of the screen. 😀
He and his tiny friends or maybe family have been in the screen room since it was erected. They’re far too quick for me to catch. I wonder how they survive, without any insects to feed on.
A very cute little fellow! We have some tiny little lizards here, but they are very, very fast. I was lucky enough to catch one sunning on top of the Buddha’s head not long ago! It took a long lens to do it. 😀
They really do move like lightning. I wonder how Buddha felt about being a perch for a lizard. 🙂
Luckily Buddha sat very still, giving me a great chance at a photo op!!! 😀
🙂
He IS very cute – and pleased with himself I think!
Thanks, Anabel. He does look rather smug. 🙂
Outside ok but not into my house.
Same here, Marylou. 🙂
Agreed he is cute but I’m with you. House is definitely off limits. LOL
So, I’m not being unreasonable? 🙂
Um no. No you are not being unreasonable. LOL
But there’s no food? 😦
I know, but they still somehow manage to live and breed in there. 🙂
Bless!
🙂
