Got lizards? (house, high school, live) - General U.S. - City-Data Forum

Today i came across an everyday lizard, on one of my cars in my driveway, that are common here in Orlando, FL and I was just wondering if these lizards are common anywhere else in the US.

If you recognize it, feel free to post a reply saying where you live, and if they aren't common in your area feel free to let me know where that is too, Thanks an advance for the info!

I'm in Georgia (Atlanta)... A couple of them seem to surface on my porch/driveway and on the side of my house every spring. I never saw one when I lived in N. Carolina.

Yep, that's a lizard. Grew up with 'em down in Miami.
Never seen them outside FL, and I've lived in OR, CO, and CA and spent a bit of time in TX.

We did have these in CA though - alligator lizards.

When I went to school in South Carolina I would see them a good bit...often they had bright blue tails, which was pretty sweet. However they aren't too common up here in Massachusetts haha.

interesting.. there very common here year round, they often jump out and run across your path while your walking on sidewalks :P

Looks like a gecko but another color. Those things are cute. I see them all outside my parents' house in south Florida.

We have them in Texas, along with a bunch of other critters.

When I attended high school in Nevada, there was a kid we called "Lizard Lips". Had had a very angular/sharp jaw/chin, super thin lips and could touch the middle of his nose with his tounge.

I've seen a few lizards this big here in Texas. Most of ours are less than 4 inches long.

I used to see the smaller ones when I lived in Tennessee, too.

No we don't, at all, when we saw them in Orlando it was as common as seeing rabbits up here.

And GLS, can't put a shirt on for a picture of a lizard?

Lol! Nice though.
