Keep Herp Calendar free
Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Brown Anole
Anolis sagrei
Description
The brown anole (Anolis sagrei), also known commonly as the Bahaman anole, Cuban brown anole, and de la Sagra's anole, is a species of lizard in the family Anolidae. The brown anole is normally a light brown color with darker brown to black markings on its back, and several tan to light color lines on its sides.Wikipedia ↗
Habitat
The native range of the brown anole extends over much of the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and other countries. The brown anole tends to live on the ground, avoiding trees and preferring to live in smaller plants and shrubs and is found in both urban and suburban areas.Wikipedia ↗
When it's active
The brood size of a single female brown anole is one egg, which it lays in damp environments. The breeding season of a female extends slightly longer than that of a male, as the female is capable of storing sperm for a short time.Wikipedia ↗
