Default Smart Anoles in The Villages

This afternoon, I was sitting on my lanai and noticed 9 anoles on the screens. I have not seen that large number on the screens at one time. Then,, I saw a Black Racer snake about 3 feet long cruising along the ground in the flowers.

When the snake left the area, the anoles came down from their safe havens.

I wish they were smart enough to leave my garage, when I open the screen door for them.

RC - if I had not looked at your profile, I would have guessed you were one of my very good friends from Mississippi.

I shoot real guns and play golf. I think we might have a bond here. If not, I'm willing to try something that makes you feel welcome. You will love it here.

Wow, that IS smart! I wonder if they smelled it or heard the rustle.
