Floridian here, I love green anoles and I feed them leftover crickets, I think we’ve made a bond.

I live in Florida so I see these little things alllllllll the time

when she said "assert his dominance" i just imagined the lizard standing up and t posing

Floridian here- There's a brown anole somewhere in my house and no one knows where help

Florida is like the reptile paradise of the USA lol.

Man I'm so glad you talked at such length about the Brown Anole and that it's invasive as heck. AND that it's taking food and habitat from the Green Anoles. I live in Orlando so as soon as I saw your video about Florida lizards I was like SHE BETTER TALK ABOUT THOSE DANG BROWN ANOLES. But it is really interesting how quickly green anoles are evolving to combat the habitat theft. I have a lot of feelings about our Florida Anoles

Love this! I would love to just watch you travel the world and talk about native species. Also, congrats on the sponsorship! 😊

I live in Florida, have for 7-8 years. I’ve seen North American Curly Tails, Mediterranean House Geckos, Both Brown Anoles, Cuban Knight Anoles, Green Anoles, Green Iguanas, Corn Snakes, Garter Snakes, Southern Black Racers, Water Moccasins, Red Eared Sliders, Map Turtles, Painted Turtles, Softshell Turtles, And American Alligators, but I’ve never seen a 5 Lined Skink, or any skink in general in my life. Hmm.

Ok, what's up with the pickle? Floating In the background around 5:58 😅

I live in Florida, these little bois are everywhere. Just last night a lizzer lept onto my hand in the dark, scared the everliving shit out of me, lol

Great video! My favorite lizards in Florida are six lined racer runners. Them speedy bois is fast lol

Love you Emily! I started watching your videos to tackle my fear of snakes!! I got hooked and I look forward to every new video. I live in Australia and wish I could go to one of your expos! We don’t have many snakes lovers here because our snakes tend to kill a lot of people. Lol

Not first EDIT: Also congrats on the sponsorship!

Couldn’t the Brown Anole just T-Pose to assert his dominance? Why evolve when you can T-Pose?

Are skinks the reason that racing stripes are what the are ? Also could we rename them Nyoooooooms ?

I like to catch these guys in my backyard and keep them for 1-2 days so I can draw them and document them, I did this before I even knew what they were called and I used to name them myself, and my favorite two were "Blue Tailed Toothless" and "Green Bastards" 😂😂😂

I'm here at 1:00 am in Scotland 😅 stayed up just to watch this . You are my inspiration to follow my dream to become a zoologist . I wrote a full paragraph about what you do and how that was my Inspiration. Lots of love from Alanna in Scotland ! 💞

Oh it's so awesome you're in Florida! I love the small lizards around here and I'm fascinated because some of these species I've never seen!

I'm so glad you're covering the small reptiles of Florida, Floridian here. Love the green anoles. I love obsessing over them when they are on the screen door haha

OMG! I used to see those in my yard all the time! I lived in Florida when I was younger and I still visit family there each summer. I love catching them and then letting them go again.

You are the best !!! You are the most informative person I have ever seen all the information is completely accurate

Love your channel! Glad you're growing! 👏

Aaah, so happy to see this! I live in Florida and have fallen in love with the anoles. A brown anole (Elend) was my first rescue and reignited my love for reptiles. Now I'm starting up a small reptile rescue! They really are underrated, they're very smart, a bit of food and a specific sound and you can have a pack ready to visit you at a moment's notice. I'm glad to see that they're becoming less common in pet shops, they're amazing pets but definitely need more care than what's prescribed. Hope you enjoyed your visit to Florida!

I was born and raised in South FL and my Mom found some small jelly bean sized eggs while gardening. We put them in a screen covered shoe box with some dirt & placed them under a light... about a week later, they hatched into the cutest tiny little blue tailed skinks!!! 💖💖💖

Hey Ive been watching your channel for about a year now and very educational keep up the good work

I love your channel! I had gone out earlier this year and got 3 adopted hognoses :) I used your videos to evaporate my fear of holding them and now they are tame as puppies :) Thanks Snake Discovery!

I LOVE those skinks! They're so pretty. I like to go "herping" in my yard with my toddler and we find those hiding out in our shed. So cute!

I love seeing lizards in nature. It's amazing how quickly some of them can adapt. Another awesome video.

I got those in my backyard 🤣 Orlando is cool I guess (that’s where I live)

They didn't find any house geckos. Me looking at my window: "Uh, there's one right there." (I live in Tampa Bay, Florida)

I'm so glad I found this channel! You are helping me get over my fear of snakes! I love for you to do some crested gecko videos! I just recently got one and I love it!

Omg when you pulled on his neck flap I lost my mind 😂😂 that was crazyyyyyyyyyyy he just let you too that was so cool! I love this video! Can you do more local wildlife stuff when you travel please?

My garage has had a colony of Mediterranean Geckos as long as I can remember. We call them leopard geckos lol.

“Don’t get out I don’t want to have to catch you again” The anole: *”that’s the point”*

Your videos never fail to make me smile :)

Yes been waiting for the new upload!!!🐍🦎🐢

I live in florida, and i catch one of the first lizards you saw almost every day!

You guys should collabe with Kamp Kennan and Crocodile Kyle. Maybe bring Rex to their sanctuary to visit all of the crocodiles and alligators there!

I've lived in Florida my whole life. Never put much thought into these extremely common lizards until I got older Caught a brown anole many years ago back when I was a kid. Lizard was young. Lasted several years in captivity. Even grew comfortable around humans. Was nice seeing such a common thing in the spotlight. Almost brings a sense of satisfaction due to the familiarity, for what ever reason.

I live in Californa. I see western fence lizards and sometimes alligator lizards. Everyday I check the temp of it is warm for lizards to be basking and look on my fence, almost everytime I see 1 or 2 western fence lizards just basking on my fence. They are Sooooo cute!

I went to Florida and caught a whole bunch of lizards they bite alot

Omg you’re in Orlando?!! I live there

I love it! And here we are with snow just south of us. Not ideal for lizards around here but I love them! Thanks for showing off some little guys!

I grew up in Orlando! Thanks for sharing some info about the local lizards.

I was wondering if anoles changed color.i live in Texas and I sometimes see them.during the warmer months like summer,I see green anoles.in the fall and winter I only see brown anoles

Awwwww so cute!!!! I want a lizard 🦎! I wish my mom let me!

Emily! You guys just made me so homesick-- I'm missing Orlando and Tampa so badly, and this was such a blast from the past for me. A lot of my childhood was spent looking for some of the reptiles you found in this video!

I also live in Florida and was very excited when I saw this video. I'm very happy you covered these! I used to catch these lizards all the time.

Cool. To a scale to 0-10 how much do you like lizards. I love them but my mom wants me to kill any that comes in the house

I LIVE IN OSTEEN OMG OMG OMG OMG ONLY 1 OUR AWAY HOW DID I NOT SEE YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH UR MY ROLE MODEL FOR LIKE IM ONLY 12 BUT I WANT TO FROW UP JUST LIKE YOU TO TEACH PEOPLE ABOUT THESE ANIMAL

Hi Emily and Ed, thanks for your time and effort and videos. Awesome and amazing. Diane from Southampton UK

What an informative video! I came here to look up this lizard I found in my yard that looks like a snake (never seen before), yet learned a lot! I’m also from cent-ral Florida and the brown anoles are almost friendly. I used to have a tame one that came to greet me every morning and hang out, that lived in the base of my patio umbrella holder. I had him for years till we moved. I now have another one that comes to greet me that lives in my Yucca tree on my back porch, he is there a few times a week. I’m surprised that this is the first time Ive really noticed the 5 lined skinks, maybe it was because it was so large!

First

I love these types of videos so much!!

On my vacation there, we had a whole community of anoles always sticking to the fence. I love them.

I'm a sucker for three-legged animals, so I naturally fell in love with that five lined skink. He is georgeous.

As a viewer from south Florida I’m so happy y’all did a video here!!!

I love this channel I even set up my own terrariums in 1 I have 2 frogs and a few minnows and tadpoles

I love all the lizards, snakes, and frogs here in florida. They are all great. I have 100s of brown anoles and like 8 jesus lizards/ basilisks in my backyard.

I live in Orlando and we have so many lizards!! I had to relocate a lot of them when I was gardening. They do help with the insect problem

Great video, always enjoy watching and learning about species we dont have here in Australia. .

Rlly nice I love your channel wow snakes and lizards are rlly cool and pretty thank you for making me happy And the way you love animals thank you 😜 for making my day

Floridian here! I have 'pet' green anoles on my lanai. I give them bugs n they eat any bugs that get into the lanai. Have watched them successfully fend off brown anoles from his territory. Awesome to watch them. Thank you for the video! Love going through these older videos

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU GUYS UPLOAD ❤️❤️🐍🦎🐊

Emily!!! So, I had the best experience the other day, I had the amazing opportunity to teach my little niece about an American toad frog we found in the garden. She’s two and probably understood nothing but she loves spending the time watching him.

I’m just home from Florida. Loved seeing all the small lizards about

I got that phone after hearing you mention it in an earlier video....OMG much better than my LG Xcharges!!!!! Def happy with this phone. PS. Love your videos watch often :)

I love five-lined skinks! They’re the reptile that got me into herping and learning all I can about reptiles!

Floridian here- my yard is a reptile and amphibian haven. I see Cuban/brown anoles daily, green anoles every so often, House geckos every evening and huge frogs and toads at night. Any given summer day there’s hundreds of tadpoles in various water features around my house, leapord frogs, tree frogs, Cuban tree frogs, bufo toads. We have a few friendly ring neck snakes and a garter, and I think a black racer. This is all in my yard.

Thanks for helping me of these lizards since I’m from Australia and I only have photos that I took of them. When I went to Orlando we stayed in this hotel and outside there were hundreds maybe even thousands of brown anoles there with a few skinks as well.

Hey snake doscovery!! This channel is so cool!!

Seeing little scale friends everywhere is my favorite part of living in Florida. I have those little brown anoles all over my yard, but never knew they were invasive!

That Pickle Rick you had in the background tripped me OUT lmao

That's so awesome you did a FL lizards video! The brown ones are everywhere! You can't walk down a sidewalk without dozens of them skittering away from sunning themselves. They get pretty big in our backyard. It actually seems weird when I go other places not to see them all the time, I've had friends from out of state visit and comment on all the lizards lol. They do seem good about being caught once you scoop them, once they feel your hand warmth they tend to like to stay. Sadly I don't think I've ever seen a green one :( I do have a lot of affection for the 5 line skink, I was familiar with them as the blue tongue skink. I've definitely seen small light brown to clearish colored geckos and some other skinks. It always make me happy when I see other types of lizards besides just the brown anoles. I find often summer evenings or nights if you have your porch light on, attracting bugs, the lizards and frogs will come out and take advantage of it. It's also a delight to see the bats come out at dusk (you have to be in the right area to see them). Get those mosquitoes!! I've always been that person who's like "oh wow look at that little lizard! Look at that moth! Look at that caterpillar!" Maybe funny story. When I was in high school we saw a turtle in the road (I'm not sure what kind.) We decided to move him over closer to a nearby lake. So my friend was driving, and I picked him up and held him in the passenger seat. But he started to pee on me! So I held him out the window. There was a line of turtle pee all down the street. I don't know how he had that much pee. We did set him down in the grass nearer the lake.

I have never been this early 😍😍😍 I'm in FL, so awesome your here. I love this channel so much, thank you Emily for the content and for you being you!!

I just took a trip to florida and I saw almost all off these species \, this video is really helpful for identifying.

And your snakes, and Rex are so amazing :D

Happen to see the green one for first time where I'm staying, great video

I'm early :D i love lizards! i have 2 beardys, i want a chameleon so bad...But all the lizards are so cute ^w^ luv ur channel!

I admire lizards. My parents’ place here in Florida is surrounded by palm trees and all kinds of plants that spiders would love. Unfortunately for the spiders, there are lizards everywhere. I recently moved into a brand new apartment and noticed the absence of lizards since the bushes around the buildings were still too small for them to live in. But 4 months later the lizards are showing up and eating the wolf spiders :)

Wow you guys go on a lot of vacations (which you totally deserve!!!) & always do fun stuff!

Green anoles are fantastic little lizards! My first ever reptile when I started out (and did SO many things wrong) and i can't wait to get them again and put them in a proper, bioactive, awesome terrarium!

Love seeing them in my day to day! Also love the MN Wild shirt since I’m originally a Minnesotan lol

Just when I thought I'd seen all of your videos, I find one that I haven't seen before!!!

Great information, great personalities, great channel.

A lot of lizards live in my yard, and when I come home from school I always walk slowly so I won't step on them when they run around.

when i was little me and my friends would catch brown anoles whrn the sun set on summer days. It was so fun

4:40 I always see those when Im in Florida theyre so cute! One time I picked one up and it just started at me with those adorable eyes until I put it down lol

Loved the video! I grew up on a big farm always work to do but, when I did have free time I loved finding lizards, frogs, snakes, and salamanders that lived around me! Always found spotted salamanders everywhere, I grew up in Ohio they are also our state amphibian!

Aww! My home state! Welcome! Love the lizards! My grandmother likes to call them “little dinosaurs”

AMAZING channel! Keep it up! 💗👍👌

LOVE Snake Discovery!

Luv u guys keep up da great work

Awesome video I live in Florida we see the house geckos all the time have seen a lot more of the native anoles this year but still a lot of Cuban anoles also seen the knight anole in our tree once so there are around here also

5:55 I loved that strange lizard on the background xD haha gotta love pickle rick

Where i live in florida we have the african rainbow lizard(redhead agama) and curly tail lizards. They only started showing up within the last 5 years or so and now they are EVERYWHERE. To see a brown anole is almost rare now but to see a green anole is something truly special .

I used to catch those all the time! If just go outside and lay on the ground,staying absolutely still until one climbed on me and if quickly grab it! If of course let it go once I looked at it,but I love em so much!

Lol I go to cocoa beach to get on a cruise every year and I see them all the time thanks for covering it up

Cool video! Thanks you so much!
