Hi! We just moved to Henderson and I am seeing these little brown lizards all over our trees and rocks in the back yard. Anyone have any info on them? My little boy just loves them. Thanks!

Possibly Hemidactylus turcicus. Apparently you have never watched the Geico Gecko commercials.

They eat bugs, so their presence is encouraged. I wish I had some lizards, but the cats would just mess with them. Glad your little boy is enjoying them.

Don't let them corner your boy....seemingly out of nowhere thousands of them will swarm him....they're flesh eating lizards!

Seriously, they're Anole lizards and a type of chamelion.
