MFK TRIP : MIAMI, FLORIDA 2006 : LOAD WARNING

Guppy,

I didn't know they were anoles and that you actually caught them.

We only know them as "butiki". Which I'm sure the TRUST can relate to.

The TRUST · May 27, 2006

LOL!

Yup! We call them Butiki.

Matt,

to be more accurate, the "butiki" we all known from back home is actually called a Gecko.

I just found that out a few years ago.

Definitely not a Nile Tilapia. Li caught one and I see them all the time in the markets. I am leaning towards Warmouth.

I wish I had seen it out of the water, from above it seems to lacK the "warpaint" and opcular extention of the warmouth but that could just be because of the angle of the photo, I was guessing nile tilapia because of the lip. You got a better look at it than I did so here are a couple pics for comparison.

those are geckos? plain wild ones i guess... theyre dumb always getting smashed at the hinge side of the door.

Looking at the pizza and beer pics... the guys seem to be relaxed and chillin. But ash looks tired and burnt ! poor ash. How come i didnt see any pics of trust while having beer and pizza?

I just looked up butiki and they are several species of house gecko , the most common being Hemidactylus frenatus, accordind to one site the are sometimes used in traditional medicine by deep frying until crisp and eating them to treat asthma.

There are a couple species of house gecko in Florida now as well as Tokays but the lizards we saw were anoles, mainly bahama/brown anoles, but I did see one green (native), one crested, and several bark anoles. The ones I brought home were all bahamas (4 total)

It's true, in every pic ash looks burnt out

As a kid I got barbed wire stucked in my forehead trying to catch one of those. I stayed away from them after that. Lol
