What you should know
The little green lizard doing push-ups on every Florida fence. Completely harmless.
Whoa
It can change from bright green to brown, and the males puff out a hot pink throat fan to show off.
Staying safe around it
This one is genuinely harmless to people. Still look with your eyes and let it go about its day.
Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant. If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
