Video of Cuban Knight Anole eating

Thats the first tame CKA ive seen. They are establish here in Florida, and boy to those guys have an attitude! I had a baby like that fall off a tree and land on my shoulder once. They look very nice when there not trying to take your finger off.

Prettykttkat has several tame CK Anoles. I can't seem to find the thread she posted, though. :(
 
Haha, thanks! :D Bookmarked it. Love that thread. :)

Jann, does it still run away quickly?

She's getting better. Today I put my hand in her cage and she jumped on and came out for about 15 minutes and just sit on my hand and got chin rubs. :D:D She use to run when you tried to get her out. She puffed her little chin out at me. Do you know what that means?

This morning I had her crickets in a cup and put it in her cage to put a few crickets in her feeding dish and she ran in the cup and ate them all. :eek: Then she turned brown and was scared to come out of the cup and I had to help her out.
 
I am not really sure what it means. I still have some reading to do. :p

I'm glad she is getting better! So funny about the cup, they have their moments.

it is a threat display, she probably thought you were going to eat her :D, they, like chameleons, put out their gular when they feel threatened, for breeding purposes (normally only males) or in territorial disputes.

@AR, it depends what type of anole it is in the pet store :)

shes looking good Jann! Ive found they really love flies.

To be the slightest bit more specific, Dulce is a Cuban Knight Anole (native to Cuba, established in Florida), and probably the most common pet store anole is the Carolina anole (native to much of the SE United States). The pet store I grew up with carried Carolina anoles as their only lizard, and the one I frequent now always has the Carolinas and sometimes the Cuban Knights.

Glad she's taming up for you, Jann! She's looking good!
 
Very cool Jann, you and Mike certainly have a way with reptiles. Your chams are the most relaxed I have ever seen :D
