Fox News
The Peter's rock agama, a lizard species native to tropical, sub-Saharan Africa, is believed to have been first introduced to Florida in the 1970s as pets.
"I saw the head. It is red, and it’s pretty abnormal, and I have never seen a lizard that big," resident Jingchen Bi told FOX35 Orlando.
Ken Gioeli, a natural resources extension agent with the University of Florida, told the station that he refers to the lizards’ move up the coast as "the invasion front."
