Two of the most fulfilling was tracking down Anolis allisoni & Anolis chlorocyanus in FL. Most fun is discovering new populations of Podarcis. Most fun to chase was the Zebra Tails in Texas. And the most surprising was finding a Leo & Grilled Lizard in Hollywood, FL.
They're native to parts of South East Asia. Do you know which species? They love to dig. Most people recommend about 1-2ft of a sand/ soil substrate. A common issue is them loosing digits from trying to dig into the glass.
Depending on the species you want ambient temp of high 70s to mid/ low...
Yeah I love them. You see them pop up from time to time, usually at expos. But have have a very unique and complex social structure based on throat color. The blue throats are very communal and can even keep multiple males in the same habitat. I used to keep 2.2 in a 10gal about 5 years ago.

Most of the non native, not considered invasive, came in via the plant trade as stow aways or from Cargo Shipments. It happens all the time, only exception is South FL has the perfect climate for them to thrive.
@redhIt really is. I have them, some Phelsuma grandis and Anolis allisoni I'm hoping to breed (use money for food) lol. That or keeping my brain active playing the game of finding a needle in a hay stack.
@kinyonI didn't know that. I knew most species fell to the floor when startled. I more so...

I am currently in School and had to downsize my collection, and foster out my deremensis. However, I had room for in my dorm for a small Exo Terra and I picked up a pair of Brookesia thieli. I'm still a little iffy of sexing this genus. I believe this is a male but looking for second...
