Are all of these yours? I have a Cuban Knight and she is such a little sweetie! We took her in the week before Christmas when we were having a cold spell and she weighted 4 grams and now she's up to 18 grams. I can't get over how soft she is......soft like a Parsonii.

The photos are mine. I dont collect to often. To many Chams!

ever tried feeding them to your chams?

Dont get me wrong I love anolis. But They are good feeders.

See the 4th photo. That little lady has produced lots of feeders for me. She lives on my porch. I call her "Red".

The second one loooks like Anolis carolinensis and it is a native if it is. The browns have driven most of them out.

Cuban Greens (A.Porcatus) look a lot like A.Carolinensis but there are longer and have a thicker body. They also move alot different the Carolinensis, not as agile. They also inhabit mostly palms.

I have never seen a Cuban Knight Anole in the wild

The best time to see Knights is in the morning. They bask on the trunks of trees.

I couldn't have the heart to do that...
Are anoles good feeders? I've heard of people feeding pinkies, and very small Buttoned Quail

They are in your area but there are far less of them after that nasty winter.

I couldn't do that either and feeding wild feeders can give your chams parasites.

Cool, it did indeed look thicker so I wasn't sure. I've found the pacific ones in Kona

He was brown and not happy at the time
