A Green Anole in a Ti plant in Hawaii

I looked out of my bathroom window the other day and noticed two things. One was this Green Anole on the Ti plant by the side of the house. The other was that the Ti plant had grown so tall, it was now blocking the view from the window. Later, I went out and chopped the Ti plant down to a more manageable size, checking beforehand that the anole was no longer in residence!
