I didn't see many of these little green lizards when I lived in Concord NC.
There I saw little lizards, that looked like they had a rainbow on their backs, very pretty, very tiny.
Here in SC, I see these little green lizards. Beautiful little things, I love them.
They turn from a bright green, to a dark brown. Yesterday I saw one with a red flap under it's chin, he was displaying it, fanning it out and back down again.
What's this species name? Someone told me alligtor lizard, but I'm not sure that's correct.
I was also told this little green lizard will not ever be agressive, and from what I've seen that is true, they skittle away, but...I was told if you try to catch one be a bit careful, because they do have a smart little bite, when scared. I would never catch one, feel animals /creatures do best in their own habitate, but I did manage to touch one, one day. Very soft.
Those are Green Anole lizards. I, too, love to watch the lizards around here. The blue-tailed skink, the striped ones you were talking about (not sure of the name on that one and the Anoles. We had the Anoles in TX and they would put on quite a display, puffing out their necks and doing push-ups. We called them the bubble gum lizards. And ,yes, they will bite but not hard enough to be scared away from them.
We had a skink in our house about a month ago - husband caught it and set it free in the backyard. We think he got in through the garage - my husband leaves the interior door open so the cats can explore in there and we're positive it came in when the cats were sleeping rather than keeping a watchful eye.
Last night we saw a garter snake in our driveway as we pulled in from a night out in Charlotte.
ok - live in rural NJ and aside from the suburb rodent (squirrel, racoon, chipmunk) or deer we don't see lizards - you all are freaking me out!
Nothing to be freaked out about with the little green lizards (I'm not even sure they are real lizards). They're fun to watch and wouldn't hurt a fly--well they might eat a fly, but that's a good thing. Just enjoy them...
I took my gf to Buffalo and Canada and she was amzed at the black squirrels since she had never seen them.2
