Your husband is a remarkably tolerant man!

And those are great photos!

Thanks so much.

I was jealous.

I had a couple as pets when I was a kid.

Fascinating to watch--like little velociraptors. I took one to school a few times, hidden under my collar.

I have water features for the butterflies and bees and the anoles enjoy them too.

I took a branch from a downed tree and placed it in one of my flower beds for the anoles to sun themselves on.

I purchased tall native shrubs to replace the invasive ones just to give the green anoles somewhere to climb and hide.

I placed terracotta pots around outside for the brown anoles.

We're very pro-anole here.

The Geckos come out at night. We keep a few lights going outside that have enough lumens to attract bugs for them to eat.

We're weird.

And both of you sound like the best kind of weird to me!

We like critters.

I'm serious

We're too far north to see anoles (or any lizards, as far as I know) in the wild. I would love to be able to watch baby anoles frolicking!

BTW, autocorrect just proved how stupid it is by trying to change the word anoles to angles.

Except when it's not.

The adult ones fight a lot. Competing males. I tell them to "Behave". Doesn't work.

We have the invasive and the native species available at a discounted price of $0.00 per dozen.

Great shots.
I've been watching several anoles in my yard recently. I see them when I sit outside for coffee in the morning, or when I'm out watering the yard. But climbing on me? Um, no thanks.

He said the anole barely tickled his arm hair. lol

A friend called me, last week, to tell of his unusual wildlife interaction, an up close and personal one kind of like your hubby's. My friend was at a storage unit, a big one, and was lying back in his truck with the back opened yet inside the building. Said he was asleep when something landed on his chest, fluttering and then held still for less than a second. It was a fledgling peregrine falcon! Flew right in the back of the truck and landed on his chest. Once he was awake enough to figure out what was going on it was gone. He figured out what kind of bird it was by the upset parent circling above outside.

These unexpected moments of wildlife interactions are usually amusing.

Great picks and story!

I love birds! Even the birds that eat other birds.

I am a fan of birds too, I figure they eat what they eat to balance the ecosystem, even if they have to eat the cute ones.

We didn't want to use poison on the voles - and there were a lot of them - so we tried to create a balance.

Some of the land was wild and we've been shaping it to keep the critters happy and us happy.

We watched a day owl grab a vole from inside the pile. I don't enjoy the killing but the balance is what allows for the survival of as many critters as possible.

Got a dead tree I refuse to cut down out back. If it falls it won't land on any buildings. Right now, that's where the predators hang out scouting the land.

Vultures group together there as well.
