Have a fair number hanging around the homestead. Mostly of the Anole variety, brown and green.
They are of little importance except that they crap on everything. Most know to RUN when they see me, but a few don't. Out on the porch a few minutes ago and a rather large brown anole watched me pull the chair to the pavement edge and sit down about 5' from it. I uttered a few words, waved my arms...not impressed. I stood up to leave and it didn't move. Picked up the chair...nothing. With few other options I farted somewhat loudly. It RAN like the devil was after it.
I don't understand. Anyone have any insights regarding this behavior? The lizard's, not mine, thank you very much.
I am..........disturbed.

Get an outside cat, they catch and kill all they can. I rather like to watch them and they eat a lot of pest. Did notice through the years that when the Mediterranean geckos showed up the roach problems went away.

Have a Broadhead Skink (not to be confused with a Skank) that lives around my carport- scared my wife a few times til she figured out what it was and not harmful. Big fellow maybe 8 or 10 inches. Ya'll run with that one for a while...Joe
Doing the right thing is not always the easiest thing. It still needs doing..
Says in the lizard book that those anole are very sensitive to foul odors. Desert lizard territory here and they can be plenteous - but not on our place due to a local Roadrunner. Try one?
For some reason I get strange YouTube feeds... (can't imagine why ). I just saw this yesterday. Guy has a stroke and gets a chameleon as part of his recovery plan. Fred does not look real no idea how he might respond to farts....

The ones that don't run are either acclimated to people or resorting to their defense mechanism. Still is interpreted as unseen. They know that movement doesn't always mean escape, it can trigger feed response from predators.
They poop on everything because they are eating other things.....that also poop. It's either insects or anoles. Take your pick. I personally like natural bug zappers. Bats are the best. They keep mosquitoes in check.
