Hi All,
With proper care, the Green or Carolina Anole, Anolis carolinensis, is quite willing to breed in captivity. However, being relatively inexpensive, it is often considered a “beginner’s pet” and not worthy of serious attention. This is a serious mistake, as anoles of all species are among the most interesting of all lizards. In fact, the antics of a colony of Green Anoles that I exhibited at the Bronx Zoo regularly stole attention from the more “dramatic” but sedentary Water Moccasins that shared their quarters. What’s more, we still have much to learn regarding Green Anole reproduction…hatchlings can be difficult to rear, and second-generation breeding is rare. There’s plenty to challenge the well-experienced keeper, and information gathered will likely be applicable to rare and less-studied relatives. You can read about how to breed Green Anoles, Brown Anoles, Bark Anoles and many others below. However, over 350 anole species have been described, and details vary. Please post below for specific information on other anoles. Read the rest of this article here http://bit.ly/185dxLm
