What is up with all the brown lizards in Houston?

If you’ve lived in Houston or Southeast Texas for any period of time, chances are you have probably noticed the small green lizards known as the Green Anole. These guys are one of the most common species of lizards in our area and can often be seen scurrying along fences, on the sides of potted plants, or climbing up area trees. Something I have noticed this year is it appears there are way more brown lizards then green ones showing up in the area.
