Seems like every place has their standard issue lizard. We have our particular type of gecko in Arizona that lives everywhere. This is the lizard of choice in Florida. I found him sunning himself on the enclosure around my Aunt and Uncles pool in their back yard. I saw many of them and they would occasionally expand some skin under their jaw, presumably in some mating display. This image was taken with my 70-300mm zoom at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/200 seconds at f/11, ISO 400.

I alternatly that the "flashing" the Florida Anoles is a mating display and a territorial display. Only them males do it and often the flap is a redish orange. They also "pulse" up and down on their legs to make themselves more obvious. After years of watching them I could never figure out if they attracted a felame's eye, so my money is on territorial display
Yeah, could be territorial. I got some images of the flashing, but I didn't like the focus/composition/etc of them as much as this one..... Maybe I'll pick one of them anyway.
