Anole
I had a lizard living in a 22" pot where I'm trying to grow potatoes (my first attempt). The pot is not filled all the way with dirt; instead, as the plant grows I pile more compost around it. When I went to water the other day, I saw that the lizard was still there, and that he was evidently trapped: the walls of the plastic pot were too smooth for him to get a foothold. I put a big stick inside the pot, and within two minutes the little lizard was out and on his way.
