He was making a statement with that ruby dewlap.

Apparently, the red dewlap sealed the deal.

I was taking shots of this pretty female anole when a big male showed up out of nowhere. She has the white stripe down her back. He is larger and a bit rougher looking. Probably been battling other males during breeding season. She had his full attention & I was ignored.

Male anole giving me a warning to back off before he disappeared into the lantana.

I went to the side of the lantana so I could get a better view of the anole. However this also gave him a better view of me so he started warning me away by doing some push ups. Then he stalked off back into the lantana.

I found a predator in my next door neighbor's lantana. Hiding on the brick behind the lantana waiting for a pollinator to land.

This was the most he would let me see of his red dewlap. And talk about side eye, lol.

He could wrap the bell or rap it either one! Such a large well fed anole.
Big male anole claims the second of three chartreuse umbrellas.
If he won his latest fight, I wonder how the loser looks!
Not quite mating season, but soon. The passion vines will be dense in a month, and among the tendrils I look for this pair to meet again. She is a visitor in his territory. Perhaps they were the couple I saw last year who met among the passion vines?
I saw a pair engaged in the act of mating last year. Then during the wintertime, I discovered 3 tiny eggs laid in a basket inside my garage. I thought they were possibly hummingbird eggs, laid by a hummer trapped in my locked garage. So thinking they were no longer viable, I placed the three in a black metal sake cup and placed them as a memento in my house.
It was a couple of weeks later that I noted the eggs had "hatched" and the eggs were not bird eggs, but something else, for the shells were laying in slivers like fingernails, or scales from a fish, not broken open, but slid open like an eyelid might open. A week or so later, I discovered one of the tiny trio on a plant brought indoors for the winter, and I took plant and guest out to the sunny south side of my house where he might find something small enough to eat. I suppose he was all of an inch long.
I assume the eggs hatched early being indoors where it was warm. Most of the baby anoles show up in June outdoors all over everything.....barely noticeable among the plants of the garden.

Midmorning saw this anole come out from beneath his umbrella to nap in the warm morning sun. He was not anxious about my closeness, probably needing his nap after enjoying a hearty breakfast....something is pooching out his tummy!

Another male on deck, the corner outpost. This area receives more light with the arrival of spring. In wintertime, the sun does not reach all of the ramp because of trees along the south property line. He does not appear to miss many meals.
Here is one from the archives. As I recall, I came across this male anole in a garden attempting to catch the eye of a female anole. I do not know if he was successful, but it was quite a display. The photo was taken in March 2017, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
A week after finding the baby anole, I ran into this mature male anole. I was coming up from a kneeling position as I followed a butterfly in flight. Suddenly found myself eye to eye with this lizard so close I could not get all of it in my frame. I took this shot then stepped back to get more of it in the frame. However that spooked him and he ran up into the higher branches of the tree. You can see a hint of the red dewlap under the throat that marks it as a male. A handsome fellow.

In this shot you can see the red dewlap under the throat which indicates it is a male. You can also see the ear hole.

This is the moment it finally saw me and decided to leave.
