They are a very common reptile specie as they can be very affordable. They come in multiple different colors and through selective breeding; morphs are now available throughout the reptile hobby.

Can you train an Anole?

Green Anoles lizards are wild however, they can somewhat be trained/tamed to an extent.

Be careful handling them to much or too roughly, they are fragile and wash your hands before handling them so as to keep them from getting ill.

go to the zoo, pick up an anole and study it closely like a scientist would, and look at its color the male will be brown and the female will be red.if you are color blind then you might want to look at its eyeball. the male will have 5 pupils the female will have 21. if you are blind then feel its fur, the male will have only have 3 little sploches of hair, and the female will just have no hair. if you lost your hand in the civil war and you are also color blind or blind then you just have no luck so go to your mommy, cry it all out and get a life.

Can anoles lizards eat flies?

No, and I would not recommend it as a feeder insect for any other lizard. The chemical(s) that produce light and give the lightning bug its name will make any critter that makes the mistake of eating it sick. It is usually fatal, especially for young ones, and you'll be extremely lucky that your lizard makes it through alive without future complications.

The toxins attack the heart, and symptoms normally occur 30 minutes after ingestion, which can include head shaking, gaping, repeated attempts to regurgitate, difficulty breathing, and a darkening of the skin. After the symptoms occur, this gives you roughly another half hour before death is certain. If you are certain that your pet has been poisoned, contact your vet or a local exotics specialist and get the lizard immediate emergency treatment.

Note: Usually one firefly is enough to kill a lizard.

How do you tell a female anole from a male anole?

I own brown anoles and I've done quite a lot of research work on them. You can see it on a website (see related link) and Just click on "Project Anole".

So anyways, both the male and female brown anoles have a red flap called a dewlap. The males dewlap is larger than the females, and they use their dewlap to attract mates, warn off predators, and to threaten other males. The females dewlap is very small, but if you pick a female up you can see it. The difference between the males and females dewlap is great. While the males are quarter sized or larger when inflated, the females are smaller then a penny.

The males are larger then the females, which is quite common in different lizard species. You can obviously tell the difference when both male and female browns are in sight.

The coloring in both sexes are very similar. The lizards can change their coloring from a light brown to a blackish color, so the coloring doesn't help when telling the males and females apart.

I'm not very sure because some people say they live 2-3 years. However others say they can live up to 8 years.

Can a crocodile gecko live with a green anole?

Male iguanas may get territorial and may bite the anole. Female iguanas can live with other lizards quite peacefully provided the other reptile isn't territorial. Make sure there's a lot of room in the tank/cage and plenty of hiding places for them to destress. Keep an eye on everyone because theyre likely to get sick at least initially when caged with other reptiles. Also anoles love to eat crickets. Iguanas are vegetarians and crickets may often bite and injure the iguana.

What will baby green anoles eat?

How often do anoles eat?

...at the time food is available.

Baby anoles should be fed once per day. Adults should be fed every other day. Provide as many insects as they can eat in 15 minutes, and remove the leftovers. Insects should be no larger than the space between their eyes, and should be properly supplemented with calcium. (Use vitamin powder once a week, calcium with D3 the rest of the time). UVB light is necessary.

Appropriate feeder insects include 1/4" or smaller crickets, flightless fruit flies, and small wax worms (occasionally).

Green anoles may enjoy Repashy day gecko or crested gecko diet, but brown and bark anoles may ignore it.
