Poor injured anole on October 31.

  Poor injured anole today, 17 days later.  It survived close to my garden, though it was motionless each time I photographed it, not even moving after I watered the garden.  The end of its tail fell off in the meantime.

Green anoles can get 6-8 inches long, and survive for four to eight years.  They eat crickets, worms, and other bugs.  Maybe this one is eating caterpillars.  It was kind of cool on both of the days on which I photographed it, which may explain why it was motionless.

It normally stays in trees, and may like the palmetto next to the garden.  They crawl shallowly underground when it gets cool or cold.  They can be kept as pets indoors, if one takes care to meet a lot of conditions.

The Poor, Injured Anole was sitting on my garden edging four days after this posting was put up! 21 days after I first saw it!
