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.

From my research, anoles are not harmful. Be mindful, however, that anoles eat insects (flies and mosquitoes), and someone may have sprayed a poison to control the insects. Therefore, anoles that eat flies that have been sprayed can contain poison.

Experience: Horse ranch/farm with 38 cats and a quickly dwindling anole population (I find 5 or 6 dead in the house every day. Who knows how many they kill outside!) So far, haven't lost a cat yet.

What can you feed your anole if you don't have crickets?

If you have time to catch some bugs like grasshoppers, little grubs, spiders, and other insects, that would be great! Those will most likely be found anywhere, in grass, dirt, crawling in your backyard! DO NOT EVER FEED THEM LIGHTNING BUGS, STINK BUGS, AND OTHER TOXIC INSECTS! It's good to go to the pet store and get some calcium protein powder (If you don't have one). They're pretty cheap and they last a while!
