Something is Lurking in our Pepper Patch

Texas Brown Anole Lizard has been lurking around our pepper garden lately. We wrote about these last year and are really good for your garden. They love to eat insects and are able to help keep the numbers down on the flies.

Texas Brown Anole Lizard

One of the residents on our Alejandro Pepper farm is the Texas Brown Anole Lizard. These lizards are originally from Cuba and the Bahamas. On our farm he like to eat insects like spiders and cockroaches. This particular anole lost his tale at some point and grew back another one. Loosing their tales is a defensive move so they can get away from preditors like snakes and birds. Most likely our cat or dogs that enjoy chasing them around.
