The Worlds Record for us was from The Hysterical Section up to Sammy Joe's near route 42 then all the way to Brownwood. He hopped off while we were at Dunkin Donut's down yonder. He liked the way I drove I guess, he kept saying go faster, please.

Little bugger just wouldn't give up.

Those little guys are great to have around the house. We have two living in our lanai/birdcage (Big Red and Blondie) and they keep the place bug free.

Hope he got some bugs for his effort. From the size of his stomach he looked like he’s doing well for himself.

Our friend had one on his windshield that rode all the way to his house. He even tried the windshield wiper trick, but the anole held on. When they got to their driveway, our friend didn't want to pull in to the garage because he didn't want the anole in there. Well the lizard jumped off the car and started to head into the garage anyway. Our friend jumped out of the car and ran into the garage to scare the lizard away. Well, that ole senior citizen wasn't going to scare a lizard, and the anole kept going. Our friend then decided to stomp his foot to scare the lizard. At which point the lizard had the last laugh. It ran up our friends leg inside his pants. There was a lot of yelling from our friend, and a lot of laughing by our friends wife, as our friend pulled his pants down while standing in the driveway trying to get the lizard off him. We will never ever forget that story!!!!!

Never realized they could hold onto glass like that. See them on the lanai screens all the time.

Anoles.
They are funny and do eat a lot of bugs, especially the roaches ( you will be surprised how large a roach they can eat).

My biggest gripe, Can someone inform those little boogers that my front walk is not an Orgy palace.
Walked out front one day there was 8 couples doing the naughty.

Fact, when they are getting busy. they do not move. I was petting them, taunting them with bugs. Nope, stationary.

I have pics and everyone cracks up.

If they become a nuisance, use a shop vac to scoop them up, then I drive them to Fenney

Default Bad driving

The car is all over the road. Pick a lane. And use your signal.

Sorry, I'm not a Hindu but it did look like my Uncle Fred who died 25 years ago.

They are interesting to watch. The video-imagine able to,"hold," onto glass. Not sure why but at times the lizard is only using two legs. The wind, the car is doing like 20-30 mph.

Two on your lanai? I foolishly, when we first moved in saw one and put out water. Truth, they come and go. I've seen them hide under the aluminum, whatever it is called, under the screen door. They are likely Oreoles and they have the ability like camellions to change color. The ones with the red flap under their chin are males looking to attract females.
