Maybe it's too cold for them to winter over in zone 5? <BR/><BR/>As Pam told you, we have little anoles in our Austin gardens. Anoles are sometimes called "American Chameleons" because of their color changing ability. My kids had them as terrarium pets in the North and I was quite charmed to find out they live around here! <BR/><BR/>At night we see geckos outside on the walls of the veranda, catching insects attracted to the porch lights. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-65530376438133813502008-03-31T00:05:00.000-04:002008-03-31T00:05:00.000-04:00We have salamanders here, but no lizards, so I too...We have salamanders here, but no lizards, so I too would love to see photos of them from some of the Spring Flingers.

Years ago my daughter worked at a port. The ships used to come in with those massive containers on. One day one of the men working there found a beautiful lizard trapped, he got it into a box, then didn't know what to do with it.<BR/>Of course I ended up taking it. I found a home for it, a lady that specialised in them. It had come all the way from Turkey. She did tell me what it was but I con't remember.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-53960086466146043262008-03-30T12:54:00.000-04:002008-03-30T12:54:00.000-04:00I love your lizards!We have the small ordinary one...I love your lizards!<BR/>We have the small ordinary ones, and some that look like geckos and are supposed to bring the house luck.
