I learned that the little Anole Lizards lay eggs in my outdoor plant containers. One time I was re-potting a plant and pulling out handfuls of old soil when I squished what I thought was Perlite between my fingers ... turns out it was a tiny egg with a perfectly formed teensy lizard in it.
In October 2008, I found another tiny egg that I put in a terrarium and it hatched. We don't know whether it was a male or female but we named it "Lucy Lizard". I guess it maybe could have been a "Larry." Anyway, my husband would go out by the porch light each night and catch moths to feed it. I kept her in the enclosed terrarium through the winter and when the weather warmed up, released her outside. I don't know what their lifespan is but I like to think that little Lucy's offspring are still running around out there somewhere.
Here's little "Lucy Lizard" on a leaf at the back of the terrarium in this picture from November 2008.
