I think this may be a Brown Anole. Do you all agree?

Lizard ID sought - may be a Brown anole.
I wasn't able to get all of its body - the tail was gone - but looked to be healing. I guess it used up one of its lives.

It's a brown anole and he will grow a new tail in time.
Nice shots Hack!
Thanks, you two.

He is brown now but can turn green within a minute or two--it is fascinating to watch.
green anoles can turn brown but a brown anole cannot turn green!
I see now that there is a tropical anole that has been introduced into the SE US--I'm from Alabama and didn't know this! How do you tell a brown anole from a green anole which has turned brown?
it's more from their habit than actual looks. the Cuban Brown runs around on the ground more and has a friendlier demeanor. the Green Anole is more shy and is usually found higher up on trees and shrubs. the Brown has markings that are very easy to see, except when they turn almost black (which they can do when they're older). the Green one, while it has markings, are usually very faint and flecked with blue. when the Green ones turn brown, it can sometimes take a second or two to really see the difference.
LOL
btw, did you find this one in a recently purchased plant? i didn't think they could survive as far north as georgia but they do get transported in plants grown in florida.
