Looks like a wicked cross between an Anole and a Komodo Dragon LOL

I lived in Florida for a good part of my life, and I've never seen those. TONS of Anoles, but never one that looked like that. What part of FL?

i've seen a few of those around my house too. Thought they looked a little strange. I think they are just the regular brown anoles. The males seem to be the only ones with the sailfins. i've also noticed more of the curly tailed lizards around my house too.

i think what it is, that some of the brown anoles you see were imported from one country and then another country has them with the raised sails like that, and i'm pretty sure the two are breeding because i have also seen them with less pronounced sails

looks almost like a basilisk, i did release a few of those in the wild by your house

I see these things all the time. I don't see them with the crest. I wonder if that is a breeding sign?

Thanks Nico-that looks like them! They live on the couch on my lanai living the life of luxury! I toss them silkworms and escapist crickets that I find in the house and they lay eggs in my flowerpots out there!
