Donna Radtke on May 24, 2016Had toads here, destructive huge things. Read this type spray poison if bothered which could blind you . Since I have a small dog who wants to 'play' with them, it too was a concern.They would make their home in my potted flowers, displacing the soil, killing the plant. Unfortunately they moved often.. from one pot to another. Not wanting to kill anything I admit I did send them on a flight far out into the front yard and out of the patio. A kind of baseball type flight. Soon they got the impression they were not wanted. Delighted when they were replaced by a cute little green lizard. No problems, didn't even try to sell me insurance. I hoped it would find a mate. It must have because this year there are babies running around! They prefer the ground for a home [thank goodness] They're fun to watch as they sneak up on a bug. Beats the bug zapper grandma had...[grin]

GoddessOdd on Sep 17, 2016In Florida the green anoles are threatened by the larger, brown, Cuban lizards, who eat the little green anoles. I hear the greens are moving up, into the tree canopies, to survive. I see them, but much less often then I once did, and every time I see one I count it as a blessing.
