I moved 180 miles from my hometown and was astounded by the immensely expanded diversity of lizards (and similar) that I see frequently.

Hometown:

  • Green anoles
  • Brown anoles
  • Five-lined skinks (rarely seen)

Current town

  • Green anoles
  • Brown anoles
  • Five lined skinks
  • Cuban knight anoles
  • Scrub lizards
  • Glass lizards
  • Curly tail lizards
  • Green iguanas
  • Rock agamas
  • Basilisk lizards
  • House geckos

A wildlife spotting website says my hometown has a lot more of those species than I knew, but I never saw them there.
