A few days ago I spotted an ugly looking brown lizard that I've never seen before at Rossette's Nursery. So I looked it up and it's most likely a Brown Anole. The species is widespread in Oahu. I have a friend that lives in Kailua and he told me that's the only kind of lizard he sees around there now. Apparently they are very aggressive and drive the other lizards and geckos away. There's a lot of those pretty green gold dust geckos where I live. I hope they don't come down here and drive them away. I know this is favoring one invasive species over another but the Brown Anoles are really ugly.
