You don't have chameleons, but there is a type of green anole that does change color. Anoles are either a light green or brown. Geckos are non-native in Florida and are mostly located in south Florida. I've not seen any geckos in this area. I'm pretty sure we don't have any this far north. If you're lucky, you may spot a skink which come in about 1/2 dozen different colors. There is one that is endangered here in Central Florida that lives mostly in sand.

They all are really fun to watch. Even one of my dogs thinks so!
