Anoles and geckos are both lizards but from different families. Anoles are actually in the Iguana/Chameleon family while geckos have their own family, Gekhonidae. In Hawai'i, A gecko in the house is considered good luck since they go after the Hawaiian centipede- one nasty little buggah that grows up to 9 inches long. if it bites you, you'll know it for several weeks. One similarity between Hawaiian geckos and Florida anoles is that they both have no regard for where they go to the bathroom. Generally on your walls and cabinets.
