Found this guy not far from my place at the botanical gardens. I was thinking he was a hybrid green x brown anole because of the pattern but it could be some other exotic anole. I am not sure but he sure was pretty.

Beautiful pic Chris, looks really neat. Hey you may have discovered a new anole species? You never know.
 
pretty sure it's a hybrid... i have seen green anoles similar to this on occasion... in captive areas where both brown and green are kept... have never known a green anole to have any real pattern if it's pure... but who knows.... maybe they are just not as common... or recently developed even.... the iguanas in florida tend to be more heavily patterned than others in their native land so whos to say anoles couldn't develop that way as well
 
nice!
 
It's a green anole. I would bet $100 on it.

Mainly the body features look wrong, I don't see any resembles to a brown anole. The color pattern is pretty baffling, I've seen green anoles with patterns like this but they always changed back to a pure green or brown.
 
I know people have witnessed greens and browns mating in captivity but never heard if any viable eggs came of it... don't see why they wouldn't though
 
Here is an idea. grab it, a few other various ones and send them my way :D
 
that's pretty! you don't see as many greens in florida anymore :(

when i went to hawaii, there were greens all over the place and they were like pigeons in ny city, they wouldn't move unless you kicked them! ...not that i was kicking any.
 
That is the thing though, I have seen tons and tons of green anoles before and non of them remotely resembled this pattern. The closest I have seen to a pattern on a green was a faint dorsal stripe that was fairly plain. This guy has multiple striations along the dorsal region as well as markings along the mid-lateral torso and occipital regions that vary in shape and color.

If he is a full blood green anole, he is not a normal one.
