CURLYTAIL LIZARD

 

          The Curlytail Lizard is a popular pet.  Native to the Bahamas and found in almost every West Indies Island, it was introduced to Florida in the 1940’s to combat sugar cane pests.  Curlytail’s get their name due to their habit of curling their tail above their body when disturb.  Curlytail lizards also use their tail as a distraction to predators by twitching it rapidly while fighting. They are sturdy, robust-looking lizards that sometimes grow to a length of 11 inches.  They usually have bronze, brown, or gray as dominant color with black or gold spots, blotches, or line.  Curlytails are now common throughout most of Florida’s southeastern counties.  Found in parking lots, along walls, and around old buildings especially where there are cracks and pieces of rubble.  These lizards are fast moving and enjoy the ability to run and climb.  They are a sit-and-wait predator eating crickets, grasshoppers, ants, and beetles.  There is some concern that these introduced lizards will compete with and even feed on native species like The Green Anole.
