My Friend Milo
the baby cuban anole
I found a lizard. He was trapped inside, resting in a sunbeam for warmth.
He's a newborn cuban anole, an invasive species in this area. I was able to catch him and move him to a nearby area already containing lots of cuban anoles- but not before taking a few photos of my new friend.
I've decided to call him Milo.
I set up a little bin with different sorts of plants, and even tried finding a few small insects he might eat.
I considered keeping him, but apparently baby anoles in captivity need small fruit flies or micro-crickets and mashed banana. I can't tell if he ate any of the banana, and I just so happen to not have much stock in micro-crickets and fruit flies.

Did I mention he's really small?
Really, really small.
