Compared to most other lizards I see locally, this male Anolis cristatellus has been surprisingly bold. Instead of running away up the tree or hiding on the opposite side of the trunk, this lizard has held its ground calmly but alertly. It had allowed me to get very close to him. On ocassion it has showed its dewlap, this is a territorial display in this species. Today I was able to get images of the lizard showing its dewlap.
