Description
Green Anole
Anolis carolinensis
Green anoles (Anolis carolinensis) are perhaps the most common, and least expensive, pet lizard available in the United States. The below Green Anole care sheet will detail how to successfully keep these lizards in captivity.
Range: Southeastern United States, Bahamas, Cuba, and several other Caribbean islands. It is the only member of the anole family that is native to the United States.
Physical Description: These lizards are, as the name implies, green in color, but can change to brown when under stress or irritated. Their undersides are white. Males have a reddish-colored dewlap (throat fan) that they will expand in a territorial display, or when attempting to attract a mate, and usually have a small but noticeable dorsal crest. Their toe pads, which are like that of a gecko’s, allow them to climb smooth vertical surfaces with ease.
