3-4 years ago we had a several serious cold fronts come through and had some record low temps. I remember one Saturday when the high temp never got to 40f. That temperature extreme killed a lot of Cuban anoles and a lot of Cuban tree frogs, that may explain the comeback.
I have always referred to them as Florida anoles, but a little google time reveals that there are also Green, American, and Carolina anoles as well as American Chameleon . I don't know if this is a subspecies or not.
I can tell you that they are considerably slower and less likely to bolt than a Cuban Anole. Which, no doubt has a lot to do with their inability to compete for food and hence the loss of territory.
