I live in south Georgia. Had one move in to my house. I put my 65 gallon aquarium in the window where he liked to hang out. Put a bunch of live plants in it. Some crickets. He moved in on his own and became a family pet all of his own Accord. We could hold him and he would hang out with us. It was cool

I absolutely love that you explain cheaper lighting options. Those pet store bulbs never last and are overpriced.

I found an injured anole in my yard. She didn’t seem to mind when I picked her up so I took her in. I had a spare enclosure so I put her in there with lots of climbing objects and proper lighting. She is doing better now, and I love her a lot. ❤️🦎❤️

I took one in from my backyard that met the wrong end of a weed whacker. Lost her right hand and foot. I honestly thought she was gonna die. She's still here a year later however and now has a decked out vivarium all for herself.

I feed the anoles in my garden mealworms from my hand. They've become my little green buddies. They love the mealworms. There's some big, older anoles that will eat 3-4 of them in a row. One of the anoles is quite large and appears more "seasoned." It looks like at some point something got ahold of him by the stomach area and crushed it in slightly, so it looks like there's a giant chunk missing from his upper half. It's wild. So he's like the wounded veteran of the garden anoles and gets all the respect. But he will surprisingly climb on my hand if I'm feeding him mealworms. So he's a brave boy XD

Anoles are very smart. They will amazingly start to recognize their keepers and get excited when they see them. They know who feeds them. Mine will eat from my hands.

Your channel has grown so much! And a amazing work very detailed video and it very usefull. Have a good day here from Portugal🇵🇹

Thanks man! Just caught a cool male red colored anole sagrei in my mom's backyard.. just got him a big 20gallon vertical tank and a couple ladies! hoping for some babies next spring. Really appreciate you and everybody else that makes these anole care videos!

I’m so glad I found your channel / this video. It was informative & very well done! Thank you!

I just got one and I'm super happy and excited! They're super cool and cute. I have a leopard gecko named Noodle, she's like almost 3 now or something and I adore her. I love reptiles and amphibians, they're definitely some of the coolest and most fascinating animals to exist and really smart too. I pronounce anole the same way you do btw, I've heard it said the other way but I just can't get myself to say it like that lol

This is the first video I'm seeing of yours, but this is the most realistic down to earth reptile video I've ever seen.

I had a few of these when I was younger, love those.

I put cardboard boxes inside boxes outside protected from rain for them to hide in but I live in a 30 ft travel trailer with a steel roof over it so they have plenty of shelter. When the man moved it here there were about 15 lizards already living on it and they came along for the ride and love it here. I`m on a very rural lot with no cats around to bother them and I always make sure they have plenty of structures to hide in or take shelter from the cold and predators. I was worried about them during an extremely cold freeze back in December but all of them survived and were back out sunning right away. I deliberately refused a pet cat in favor of them and the wild birds and bunnies here and feed them. The bunnies have their own romaine lettuce patch right now. And I have an alarm to warn me if a cat walks up.

This was so helpful thank you so much!! Thinking about getting one for my birthday:)

Thanks for the video! I've been trying to figure out where to buy supplies on the cheaper side especially lighting and the tank😅

Nice video and a cheap and easy thing I did was I purchased an old-school china cabinet and turned it into a terrarium.

I just saw my huge green lizard friend by the front door. I always talk to him and watch him fight with the lower ranking males. When I walked over to say something to him he suddenly ran a couple of feet. I was thinking he was suddenly afraid of me...maybe my white shirt...but he eyeballed me, looked back down, and leapt through the air nearly two feet and devoured a pest on one of my radish plants. Damn he`s fast! All I saw was a blur and him chewing on the huge bug. I help him catch food by putting pieces of fruit or smelly sardines or tuna cans out there with a little left in them. My lizard buddy is eating well and gaining weight. These are amazing to have around and so entertaining.

Thank you so much for the information. I know a lot more about what my anole needs now that I've watched this. One Important thing I want to share with you is that peat moss only covers something like 3% of the earth's surface, but it stores 30% of the earth's carbon. So, it's a huge deal for us to try to use coconut coir instead of peat moss. We should stop buying peat moss, so people stop harvesting it. It grows EXTREMELY slow, so we are depleting it at a much faster pace than it is growing. Having said that, I will get some sand and mix it into the coconut coir I bought to see how that works.

Great video and very helpful with finding equipment thanks man

Incredibly helpful

I’ve sort of adopted some outside and feed them (and have started posting videos too). Thanks for the tips!

I just got a baby green anole so thanks for the info!

I found a anole in my backyard and I think it is a very good pet this has helped me out a lot ❤🦎

I'm making little reptile "Happytats" in my garden to attract them for organic pest control and so far it seems to be working!

I have several green anoles on my property and they know me. I know right where to find them usually in the same general places. I'm from Florida. I really like those guys.

Excellent video

I can confirm they’re called anole like canoli! They’re descended from cuban green anoles that rafted over to florida and expanded out over the rest of their range

When we visited pigeon forge in Tennessee we saw about 20 caught a baby & kept it. its now in Florida in the living room!

Very helpful

Nice video! 👍

Hey I’m loving your chanel! I noticed you didn’t put links for the peat moss and sand that u use for your substrate. Where do u purchase them from ?

I love this video i love green anoles

Chief mixing his own dirt? Why do I suddenly get a picture of you wearing a pair of big orange overalls, while shoveling sand and peat moss together in a big hole in the backyard? :D Great video, my man! And great point about things costing more at pet-stores (or other specialized places), but if you do a little research and think a little outside the box, you can save a lot of money :D

Found one in my backyard yesterday

Soooo, I just saved a green anole and She a baby but I want to know is what kind of calcium powder do you use ? Right now I'm very new to having her but we got her in small tank for now until we do research on her more

I have 2 brown anoles, and I am new to all this, so my question is, at night, should I turn off the heatlight lamp, or should I leave it on 24/7??

what is the best food for green anoles?

I found an injured green anole in my driveway 10 days ago. He is blind (both eyes damaged) and will not open his mouth so far. I have only been able to give him water by putting very tiny droplets on his mouth line. They will slowly wick into his mouth. I don't know what or how to feed him except by the droplets. Any suggestions? In the ten days I've had him he has molted and seems to be about as strong as in the beginning. Thanks.

I need help i recently got a new green anole and he is pretty young so I have been feeding him meal worms and small crickets and he ate a meal worm and he snapped at a cricket. Can you please help me get him to eat more.

How many can you have in one enclosure

i need help! hoping you can answer, we had a male, female anole and long tailed lizard co-living in the same tank with no problems, the male anole died (we inherited him and have no idea how old he was) now since the male is gone, the green anole is always brown and not herself... could the two females now be fighting> need advice !

My green anoles have developed swollen glands on each side of their necks. I have not been able to find out what is causing it. Some sources on Google say it might be calcium storage and I found one research paper that says it's a virus. Do you have any experience with this and do you know what to do about it? They are eating and drinking but I have noiced they're not turning green very often.

So if I chose a tall tank, could I consider the top to be the hot side, and the bottom with the shade the cool side?

The tall thing isn’t that big of a deal in my opinion since they love to run just as much as they love to climb and as long as you have vines and perches for them to climb they’ll be OK in a long tank, just give them some opportunities to climb off the ground and plants to hide in, but they will use the floor space just as well and you will get a better temperature gradient in my experience

Hey, not asking you to commit here, just asking an offhand opinion. We have an Anole (woo right? lol) anyway, his tank is in the kitchen. He is a green Anole that just stays brown. The thing seems to love hanging out and watching the daily life here. Long story short, we altered temp within expected parameters, checked off the food and humidity. It left the possibility of him being stressed about too much activity and exposure. Note he has a ton of hide areas. So, we put up a three-sided background, thinking that this might solve that. New problem, he is still mucky colored but insists on sitting in 1 corner UPSIDE DOWN, in the dark. Are we anthropomorphizing or is he depressed? Just what i need a neurotic lizard, lol.

I am a beginner to the green anole habitat so I get this correct I need the UVB and a basking spot lamp?

Sup chief, so currently I am caring for a baby green anole that got stuck behind a foam bark background in a terrarium. I am completely stubbed on what to do because the anole has several issues such as: Not being able to jump, Walking issues, will not eat, rarely drinks, and so on. So if you have any advice it would mean the absolute world to me. Thank you💯🙏

So i have a baby anole lizard so i keep it in a small container i feed it ants he or she loves to climb over me and sleep i think I should move on to crickets now what do I do

Hi there. So I saved 2 green anoles from my cat and placed them in a tank I got from the pet store. They never bother each other but today I saw one on top of the other. They were not moving or anything. I thought maybe they were mating but was told they could be fighting as well. I thought they were both males so the mating thing threw me off. Is it possible they are mating, fighting, or something else? They were like that for like 5-10 mins. Thank you for your time.

Mine got attacked by a cat no bite marks but she got claw up can you help tell me what to do

I needa find me a man to take care of me like Cheif takes care of his lizards.

I need help. I don’t know how to position the three lights and how long to run each light daily or nightly for an anole. All videos touch on but don’t show details.. I need a 24 hr breakdown. Trying to keep my daughters green anole alive.

My boyfriend works in a supermarket and one came in on flowers from Florida! He sent me a video and I asked if we're keeping it, the store would kill it, and it'd freeze if we let it outside! It's funny because we wanted an Anole a few years ago and someone told us they aren't good pets, so we didn't get one... a few years later it seems life had different plans! But after watching videos, they seem like great pets to me?! So idk what that person was talking about! Anyways, we planned on our next pet being a lizard, and life just provided that haha! So we now have a female Anole and we're calling her "Ember" Petco here we come!!! Also any advice they maybe wasn't mentioned in the video?!

My cat brought one in and I’m trying to rehab her a little before putting her back out in the wild. I have super worms and large crickets for my Leo which are too big! So I tried mealies and this baby will NOT eat them. Maybe it’s an anole thing 🤔

Can they survive if they lose one of their back legs.

Does anyone know if baby anoles are okay to house together? My mama laid a bunch of eggs that are hatching and I now have two babies in a separate enclosure. Are they okay to raise together?

do you need an LED or can you just use a UVB and a heat lamp?

Hey guys is that okay if I put a green anole in a 10 gallon tank

Also is that okay if I put my green anole in with fake plants or do they have to be real

I’m getting my first lizard witch it’ll be a NOLE there so CUTE❤❤❤❤

How many crickets should I feed a adult anole a day?

Can you give me the link to the tall tank for 120$ and how do you get it misty? Could you also give me the link to the light please?

I want to build a custom enclosure because I'm thinking of getting a green anole. The dimensions are 12 inches by 16 inches by 24 inches (Vertically orientated), and I was curious if that was enough space. The tank is 15 gallons, but I'm worried that 2 feet isn't enough height. Should the tank size be fine for one or two anoles?

If they live 3 years in the wild, how do they survive the winters in north Carolina where temps often get into the teens?

How would you build an enclosure for them? I just made one for my bearded dragon

i have 2 green anoles that i found as eggs, one is already one month old and the other will be one month soon, there have been no problems with taking care of them. they like being held and they drink water and like to be inside the small water dish i have (basically a Gatorade cap) BUT im not sure if they are eating, i put ants from outside in the cage all the time but i have never actually seen them eat. My oldest one has grown in size so im guessing they are eating something but idk, i have seen one the youngest one eat a small roach that found its way in the cage, but other than that im not sure. i dont want them to starve but im not sure how to get them to eat, what should i do PLEASE HELP

Could you pls tell me how to know they should be male or female

They don’t need a basking rock ? I think my terrarium is not set right

I live in GA, my 6 year old niece is obsessed with lizards and frogs and im trying to teach her how to care for them if she wants them to stay alive lol

Can they be housed with crested geckos?

The Cuban anoles eradicated the greenies in my yard.

I have one of these guys he gives my mom the side eye whenever she goes near his tank 😂

to keep the humidity up do you just have to mist it?

You gonna put an eye out with those hands

If anoles are turning brown often that means there stressed when we got them we did some research that said we can house them together and went to a pet store and bought the four that were already together but there staying brown most of the time and they are bullying the little one that we think might be the girl how should we separate them and other advice ? 💚🦎

so i just got two a male and female very docile with each other they cuddle but i managed to feed my male anole a mealworm meanwhile the female didn’t seem so interested and i made sure to get the smaller size but i may need to downsize to accommodate otherwise our boys gonna end up lonely with no m8 ❤

I bought one from petco and all she does is hide makes me sad I’m working with her though but she’s my 1st lizard

i caught a wild one in georgia is it different

Can mine eat lettuce ?

Are they communal? Cuz chicks love swarms of lizards

I have one tammed

I had many anoles and only one of them ate meal worms.

I had two males fight to the death...I didn't see it happen in time to stop it. One was dead.

Same here, they won’t touch mealworms

Most people: I got mine from a pet store! Me: Oh yea i was vibin in class and my teacher screamed cause there was a lizard on her desk so I picked it up with my empty soda bottle and poked air holes in it got home and put it in its own tank and when I went to petco to get stuff i found out was an anole anyway his names Herbert

Hi

I just found a lizard and named him Sargent Anole

👐🏻LED-ZEPPILIN 🤘🏻

I can tame any anole I touch I touch a anole it's tamed that's what anoles do around me

The don’t eat mealworms it not there diet and they do fight to protect there young and dominance

Tini meal worms

They ARE pronounced anōle!!
