    looks like a brown anole. They are really common all over florida and actually come from the Bahamas hence their original name (Bahama Anole). I had some as a kid

    That looks like the non-native brown anole. The native anole has a longer thinner snout, normally green.
    They are common all over florida, and IMHO are quite charming little lizards.

    And it's funny that Petco (at least here) sells them for $6 each.

    Brown Anoles. I used to catch them by the hundreds and bring them back and sell them to friends and whatnot.
