Seen in Kenner and was much faster than a typical green lizard, but the same size. The tail was more oblong than the green lizards also.

They are hitching a ride to the U.S. Via plants and escape local nurseries. The ones I see in Slidell are bigger then the green ones

I have been told it is a brown anole
quote:
The brown anole (Anolis sagrei), also known as the Bahaman anole or De la Sagra's Anole,[1] is a lizard native to Cuba and the Bahamas. It has been widely introduced elsewhere, by being sold as a pet lizard, and is now found in Florida and as far north in the United States as southern Georgia, Texas, Hawaii, Southern California.[2] It has also been introduced to other Caribbean islands and Taiwan in Asia.
This species is highly invasive.[3] In its introduced range, it reaches exceptionally high population densities, is capable of expanding its range very quickly, and both outcompetes and consumes many species of native lizards.[4][5][6] The brown anole's introduction into the United States in the early 1970s[7] has altered the behavior and triggered a negative effect on populations of the native Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis, also known as the green anole), which have generally been relegated to the treetops.

And the green ones are green anoles. It's amazing how many people in the south don't know what is a green anole.

Green Anoles change color, and can be brown as well. However, Brown Anoles well have that pattern on their backs.

I suppose they are faster. I do agree that they are much more difficult to catch, in my experience. Green Anoles tend to attempt to escape up something, and Brown Anoles flush down and for cover.

Where is deacon when you need him?

A guy I work with had some of those. Chased away all his native lizards. He called ladwf and the came with a fogger and caught a bunch of them. They said they are highly invasive and should be killed on the spot. So get you a red rider and get to killing!

For goodness sake don't let that feller in the snake thread hear you say that. He'll shite a brick.
