I have problems with the "They were here first." I regularly discuss with them about pooping on my porch railing. I explain patiently that we own the property and pay the bills and we don't poop on their digs. They just look at me and don't say a thing. Next day I find poop on the chair cushions. I really enjoy them but it took awhile to get over their lizardly look. Now I just think of them as a bunch of lecherous fellows chasing after small skittery girls. When they aren't out or if they are climbing the screen in the birdcage, I always suspect their is a snake about. I really don't like snakes and I don't care if they were here first. Nope. We saved up and worked hard to get us a nice house here and those little fellows need to go home to poop. Not on MY cushions.

The ones you see are invasive but have supplanted the native green anoles and are important for the control of insects. If you want to keep them off your lanai, I have found that taking a plastic loofah sponge apart and stuffing it under the aluminum threshold keeps them out.

They won't hurt you. They spend most of their times chasing others to have sex.

Occasionally one of them that has a British accent tries to sell you insurance.

Except they poop all over the place. When one or more sneaks into our lanai they leave a trail all over the white aluminum strips on the floor that the screens attache to. Gross.

The little “lizards”, frequently referred to as geckos are actually anoles. They are harmless to humans and do a lot to keep unwanted bugs away. Live and let live, but I don’t really like finding one in my house. I suggest not keeping your doors open. I occasionally will get one inside, likely snuck in thru the doggie door. I found a stunned frog in my house once and was able to successfully move it to the outside. Get used to them, they were here first.
