Years ago I heard reports that Anolis cholocyanus had established a small population in Dade County. Does anyone know if this population is still viable? I am starting a new project and it would be quite beneficial to examine a few living specimens before investing in a full trip to the Dominican Republic. If anyone has any information about the status of this introduced species I would be extremely grateful to learn more.
Have a good weekend!

I seem to remember finding this species in the vicinity of nursery on a trip with Kolbe. I think he’d have all the relevant details.

I know they’re in Broward Co. however I beleive the Dade pop. died out in a cold snap. I beleive they used to be in the Coral Gables area near UofM
