Found this anole in Yucatan. I am not sure of its exact species - probably an Anolis sp

Anoles often sleep at the tips of leaves and twigs. My guess is that this is a strategy to prevent nocturnal predators sneaking up on them through the branches without making its bed vibrate. When woken up they can quickly drop down.

    I have a brood of brown anoles whose babies sleep on my potted plants exactly like this, it’s so cute!

        That’s so cool! 😄 You are lucky to have anoles in your potted plants, enjoy them! I have returned to the Netherlands and reptiles are not too common around here 😔
