Anoles
Anoles are a small - medium sized arboreal reptile ranging from just a few inches up to 22 inches. They range from North America - Asia. 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. Anoles range from climates that are hot with minimal shrubbery - very hot and damp rainforest climates. The most common anole being the green anole, they are often seen looking brown, as the pigments in the skin can lighten and darken depending on mood, stress and temperature.

What climate do anoles live in?
Half of all anole species are found in North, Central, and South America. (Only one species is native to North America--Anolis carolinensis, the green anole).
There are also anole species in African and Asia. Most anoles live in forested areas.
How many teeth does a brown anole have?
Yes, in fact, if it does bite you, many say not to jerk it off of you because its teeth have a grip so firm that if you pull back too hard you might rip it's jaw off.
The male will bob his head while showing his dewlap. the male is larger and has a red thing called a dewlap. The male will get on top of the female and bite her neck. After a few minutes they will break up. Then after a week the female will lay her eggs
How many crickets should you feed an anole a week?
For an adult green anole (5-7 in long) should be fed between 4-6 crickets a day, depending on their specific size and preference.
Young anoles (1-4 in. long) should be fed only 1-3 crickets a day.
Note: This is from personal experience with lizards/chameleon (anole) in general. It may not be 100% correct.How do you tell if a anole is a girl or boy?
Gently grab and pull the dewlap out from under your green anole's chin. If it stretches less then half an inch it's a girl;if it's bigger it's a boy.( The dewlap is the flap of skin underneath the chin on the lizard.)
Can you put real plants in a Green Anoles tank?
You shouldn't because i have heard that sand isn't good either because they may accidentally eat it. try FAKE grass instead
Green anoles eat crickets, flies, nats, mealworms, waxworms, butterworms, earthworms... worms must be medium to small, cut up banana, and mostly anything that the anole thinks it can over power or digest. make sure that wild caught bugs do not have pesticides of any sort. green anoles mostly prefer crickets you can get them at pet smart 10 cents each small or medium NOT LARGE. anoles will eat most insects but MUST BE PESTICIDE FREE AND SMALLER THAN THE ANOLES HEAD. i have 2 green anoles 1 male and 1 female. never ever house 2 males together the will KILL eachother.
Is a green young anole a boy or a girl?
There is no special name for baby green anoles. They are usually just referred to as baby anoles. When they are very young, they may be referred to as hatchlings, which is a term commonly used to describe any young animal that has just hatched from an egg.
Can you catch a wild brown anole and breed it then keep it as a pet?
Well depending on certain terms and conditions, like if it is very small like a new born lizard, then you could, but if it is large then you may not be able to.
How many anoles are there in the world?
No human on Earth really knows that because they multiply every day as they hatch in different parts of the world.
No. Geckos are classified under the families Gekkonidae andGekkota. Anoles are classified under Polychrotidae. They are most closely related to iguanas; however they are the second-best climbing lizards next to geckos and the second-best colour-changing lizards next to chameleons (Chamaeleonidae).
Is it normal for enole not to eat a day?
It is normal for an anole to skip a meal here and there, but most of these lizards will eat every day. You can try changing the food that you are offering to the anole to encourage him or her to eat.
Will sugar water hurt an American chameleon or Carolina Anole?
No, it will not harm them, but it also won't help them. Green anoles eat a variety of small insects, and may drink flower nectar occasionally. In captivity, they should be provided with a setup that is 80F with a 90F basking spot during the day. (It can drop to 70F at night). The humidity should be around 80%. Water should be provided with a dripper, or by spraying. A UVB reptile light is necessary.
Green anoles should be offered small insects--crickets are the staple. Flightless fruit flies are also a good food item. Mealworms are not suitable. They should be 1/4 inch or smaller, and should be dusted with a calcium supplement. Once a week, this should be a supplement containing vitamin D3. One feeding per week should be dusted with a vitamin powder containing preformed vitamin A, instead of calcium.
Feed every day for juveniles, and every other day for adults. Feed as many insects as they will eat in 15 minutes, and remove all of the leftovers so they will not bite or harass the lizards.
Green anoles may be given a small portion cup of peach baby food once a week as a treat. They may be given Repashy crested gecko diet, or day gecko diet on a daily basis, as an additional food item, if they will accept it. (If they don't go for it immediately, offer the peaches first...if those are accepted, then mix in the day gecko diet in increasing amounts over time, until they're eating the MRP instead of peaches).
It is unknown whether green anoles can be maintained strictly on a day gecko or crested gecko meal replacement powder, but it is possible that they might be.

How do you get your anole to like you faster?
You wont get your anole to "like you faster". You need to make sure that it gets used to its surroundings and of course you. Give it time!
