Anoles are a small breed of lizard that are indigenous to my area. I happened upon two males when I had horses and I was mucking out my horse's stall. I went to rake a clump of wet shavings from the corner of the stall and out they popped. I was in high school and my parents were really cool about letting me use the old fish aquarium that was being stored in the basement and turning it into a really neat habitat for them.

That's a link to the Wikipedia article about them. They're really cute, only at the time I did not know it is against the law to keep native Green Anoles in your home.
