Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey


Green Anole

Anyone with any sort of established garden might wonder why I’d post a picture of a common lizard. This a Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis).

However, in my situation, starting with the somewhat sterile environment of a new developer lot, finally seeing wildlife like this is a sign of progress. In my just over two years here, I have caught a glimpse of a lizard out of the corner of my eye maybe four times in total. This is literally the first time that I’ve seen one here that is stationary so that I could identify it properly.

So despite this being a common lizard, it hasn’t been common for me yet, and this Green Anole was a finding to celebrate.

    Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your blog. Such an inspiration. I am working on a small habitat in pots at the present, and hoping to start a blog at some point. Your work on your lot, and the blog itself inspire me and give me ideas. Thank you for sharing your adventures in rewilding with the rest of us. Congratulations on the green anole!

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
