In FL we call this a chameleon. It changes color from green to brown.
It is an Enola which may have come from
Cuba.
There is a brown Enola with dark brown stripes that did Come from Cuba. It has displaced the Chameleon which were plentiful when I was a kid 50 yrs ago.

Im pretty sure the snake is a rat snake. Its about 6 1/2 Ft long

The lizard is a green anole, which can turn a shade of grey-brown.

The rat snakes (aka chicken snakes) we see here are Texas Rat Snakes - don’t know if I have seen any others. 6 ft long is not uncommon

We get the Black Rat Snakes here, in FL. Seen em from Jac, to Gainesville, biggest in Tampa under my old place bout 6 1/2 foot, fairly thick..(probably competitive to the moccasins there fer food, place is on the edge of a swamp. But almost stepped on a Water Moccasin by my truck) the moccasins were bout 3'... I dig the Chameleons, we still have a few around. Now the Damn Cuban Tree Frog, Grrr. They ARE a Major Issue. And the Fn' snakes on the Glades? They suck too. This is Another Reason Why we have Border Checks..
