Green Anole

Kona saw him first . . . outside of our window, on the screen. We both dashed out.

I like his eyeball too. I don't like the ones with the vertically slit pupils. THOSE are creepy.

those eyes are able to rotate 720ยบ....or so I've heard. How about, a visit to Y-and-M will make you look like this, too.

I HATE geckos, but anoles...I don't mind so much. The eyeball really makes it look almost...human. I couldn't kill one after looking at your photos.

SW said...

wow..amazingly close..so how close were you standing to it? The scales on it gives me the creeps.

Ron, I'm still trying to figure our 720 degrees. Does that mean they have no blind spots?

Fawn, there's something about geckos I don't like either. . . maybe it's the almost see-through body.

Shun-Wah, I was so close I was afraid he was gonna jump on my head.
