No Peeping Tom this, merely a peeping anole. This little brown anole, Anolis s. sagrei, has been utilizing the same shrubs, windowsills and screens outside of my office for about three years now. He lost the distal half of his tail to a larger male a couple of years ago when he was much smaller. It is obviously regenerated and makes him identifiable.



The vertebral crest on this guy is magnificent and the dewlap is often distended and simply held out for seconds on end. He often bobs and displays at me while he is on the horizontal sill and I'm sitting at the computer. He stands his ground against other browns but often darts away from the bigger male green anoles.

He often positions himself on the horizontal frame of the window and from this position he bobs and displays (I feel sure it is at me because he’s looking directly at me the whole time) for minutes on end, and he does this several times a day.
