Florida's diverse reptilian population includes a variety of nonnative lizard species, which, while often impressive to look at, are generally not a threat to humans. Experts note that lizards like the Cuban brown anole and curly-tailed lizard are harmless, posing little risk even if they bite. The competition among these species leads to some aggression, particularly among predator types like the Nile monitor. Nevertheless, the majority of lizards encountered in residential areas are non-aggressive, adding unique character to Florida's ecology without significant danger to people.
Things like anoles probably won't break the skin if they bite you. They'll just leave little indentations.
These little guys are really pretty much harmless.
The reptiles range from 4-inch Cuban brown anoles to nuisance green iguanas to imposing 5-foot predators such as the Nile monitor.
Cresteds have pushed the Cuban browns off prime tree trunks where their ranges overlap.
