Green Anoles

You'll meet these little color-morphin' friends scurrying across wooden platforms, weaving over and under pine straw on the ground, or grabbing lunch from a low-hanging tree branch.

Little Brown Skinks

We find these little camo animals in dry areas near swamps. Like their legless penny-colored relatives, they're often on (or under) pine straw.

Eastern Fence Lizards

You can meet these lizards throughout North Louisiana year round. You'll most likely find these little guys and gals at Corney Lake or the Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden in Kisatchie.

Broadhead Skinks

You'll meet this skink on rotten logs and in deep brushy forested areas near water (so basically the entirety of North Louisiana is potential habitat for them).
