Ok, who wants to help ID this guy?


















This little dude was tree-climbing on Folly Beach, SC. I'm sorry about the poor quality of the pictures...I was in a tree and only had my phone on me.


My initial thought was a Green anole (Anolis carolinensis), however this lizard has a broader head than a typical Green anole. Also, this guy has a distinctive light stripe running from its neck to its tail. Its tail appears to be almost twice the length of its body. Maybe a female brown anole (Anolis sagrei)? If it is a brown anole, it would've had to be introduced to the island/area because they are a West Indian subspecies and not native to SC.


Any other ideas??
