The Carolina or green anole (Anolis carolinensis) is one of the most common reptiles for sale in pet stores today. They are small, interesting and inexpensive. But are they a good pet lizard, and are they the best pet lizard for you?

When I was a child about 12 years old I had a beautiful green anole. Once when I was being sent to visit my grandmother for a couple weeks I brought her with me. I was holding her while I was laying down, and ended up falling asleep. I woke up rather early in the morning freaking out because she wasn't in my hands, but when I looked down at my pillow I saw her curled up in a little ball sleeping right next to me. I had her for about three years at that point. That experience convinced me of their intelligence.

I had exactly the same thing happen to me! My Green Anole Freddy was chilling on my chest while I was watching TV and I accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up in a panic about an hour later there he was still sleeping on my chest. Absolutely the best of pets. I 100% recommend them.

Clint I just came back to this video to thank you so much for saving the life of a very sweet Brown Anole named Aggie! You see I did not ask for a reptile, nor was I ready for one. But Aggie decided to hitch hike back to NY on a friend's car who was vacationing in Florida, and she was in desperate need for someone to provide for her. I didn't know what I was doing, but your video helped me to save her! She's still alive and thriving 6 months later because of you. It took some time to get things right, as I was unprepared, but she went from a tiny bug container (just the first night) to a lovely large tank with love plants and plenty of climbing space which she loves. Thank you so so so much for all you do!! You're the best. Sincerely, Taylor

My dad's yard always had a lot of them. Apparently my aunt actually would smuggle these green anoles from our camp a few miles away to the yard just so they'd live there. (She was 7-ish and they're here now, so no need for scolding about that). A couple hours ago, I found a dehydrated, starved, and dull juvenile anole. I'm hoping I can save him/her, because they got trapped inside my house and couldn't find food. If I let it go, I have no doubts it will die. I caught a small moth from outside and carefully fed it to the anole, and I'm about to put some water in the box I have it in currently. I have a 10g tank but I don't have access to it yet, so I'm hoping it can survive living in the box for a day or two(it has airholes and can't get out). I really hope it survives!

We bought a Green Anole at the New York Renaissance Faire, and you seriously need to reach out to them, because the advice they gave you was basically 180 degrees opposite of what you gave. Mine is still alive after almost a year (his name is Lorus), but the first thing I did when I got him home was take him to the Vet who told me I needed a bigger enclosure, the UVa and UVb lamps, better food, more stimulation, etc., and I went to the pet store and got all of that. My anole loves to come to the front of his enclosure, and tease our cats, because they are smart lizards, and he has figured out he is safe inside his enclosure, so he will often climb the wall to his thermometer and just tease the cats. It is amazing to watch as he jumps from thermometer to leaf to front to the climbing wall in the back. If the cats have left him alone for more than about three hours, he comes to the front glass to look for them. I recommend them if you are willing to pay the costs. They are awesome lizards!

@johnlewis1830 3 ай бұрын

That's actually good. The cats provide some natural stimulation. Just like humans with horror movies sometimes it's good to get scared. It provides a bit of realism without compromising safety.

We have three of these lizards and they are great pets. All three of them have been rescues. They are all female and almost never fight. We have an appropriate enclosure in our kitchen and they watch us as much as we watch them. They like to cuddle with us, hang out with us and even enjoy a little electric blanket time. They are the sweetest pets but you need to handle them correctly and I thank you so much for this video.

Thanks for this! Nobody addresses these little cheap lizards, but they're so cool and it's difficult to find quality care information. I had a bunch of these guys growing up and you're absolutely right. If you set up a big, bioactive display tank and get a few females and one male, you'll have endless entertainment. They're so active, they have big expressive personalities, and those males are always trying to impress.

A few years back my class was studying reptiles and we had 9 bins of green anoles. After the unit was over there was 7 left and we were able to take home an anole for $8 each. My parents aloud me to take one home, and a month later I found out that only I and one other classmate still had living anoles! I was surprised that they died so quickly, but we had a large tank, good heating, good humidity, and we never handled her at all. I’ve moved a few times since then and she is now going on 5 maybe 6 years old (since I got her) and has an even larger enclosure. She has been by herself and is doing well, as she got older she doesn’t get fully green often , and sometimes is a little bit patchy in coloration. Otherwise she seems very healthy and happy and even I’m glad that my family could bring her home rather then another classmate who also wanted her (we got her first, just by a little though) Maybe they would be able to care for her, but you never know

Word of caution: Just be gentle because their skin is so soft you could accidentally pull off a tail or leg and not realize it until too late. We have them in our pool screen enclosure. I sometimes remove them to the outside when there are two trying to be friendly but one is inside and one is out side. They run trying to get away but I am gentle so I don't squash or break them. Their babies I call Tiny. Boy are they little. Only an inch long counting the tail. Cute!

Awh, my first reptile was a Green Anole I got at a flea market lol. I was 13, the man sold him to me said he was already a year old. He was in a critter keeper, and told me he could live his entire life in it! And if I'm being honest, his first week was in there, until I did the research and showed my mom they needed heat lamps, UVB, etc. My mom is great, she agreed with me and we went to the pet store and upgraded his home! He passed away a month after I turned 19, making him 7. The vet frequently told me she was impressed he was as old as he was, as most she sees die before they turn 3.

Ok, true story. When I was six years old my dad had caught a green anole that was climbing on the side of his business ( not going to give the name of his his company for anonymity reasons) and brought it home to me as a pet. No one in my family knew a thing about keeping lizards. So we basically just got an aquarium with a regular light, and some food and water bowls and set it up for the anole. That lizard lived with us for a year before we decided to let it go. I think the reason was that he kept crawling onto the top of the aquarium and burned his back by getting too close to the light. After letting him go, at our house, he must have found a few girlfriends because there were green anoles everywhere. I remember going outside and seeing the bushes around my house being covered with them. I remember seeing that pet anole we released (that burn mark made him easy to tell apart) like maybe 5 or 6 times after that but he disappeared eventually. I feel bad for him now because of how I never knew how to care for him when I was very young, but it seems he had a good life after we released him out onto our property.

My grandson went to a carnival in July this year with his friend and his friend's parents. They allowed the boys to play a game that won these. I took it right away and did a bioactive set up for her. I now have her in a temp cage made from a 64 quart bin. In the bio, she had too many places to hide that I couldn't get to or find. She has a habit of staying hidden for 24-48 hours some days. The bio was set up in a reptibreeze 16x16x30. I built a coroplast box for the outside so it could be carried and a 8" base for the inside with a black grow sack in it. Everything came from Josh's frogs and it's great, no cleaning but trying to find her is a needle in a hay stack. She has never eaten much and she is losing weight, I haven't seen her eat for a while. Lots of plants, leaf litter, everything. Now that she is in the bin, I can pick her up and place her in a feed box( before crickets were let loose, I kept food in it for them). She has refused dusted crickets, waxworms( just got today to fatten her up)calci worms or the normal meal worms kept in a dish that also has food for them. I have multi sizes from 1/2 to thin giant mealworms about 1" plus, some fat, some thin. Both the mealworms and calci worms were seeded into the substrate. She ignored both the flies and the beetles. I just got some reptiboost to give her, if she will take it. Her bulbs are 60 watt basking ( 92-102) and she had a reptisun 5.0. It needed replaced so I also get her a 10.0 today. I don't know what I am doing wrong. The friend's anole has already died sadly. Help!

I read that anoles can develop a mouth infection if not cared for properly and I can't spend hundreds of dollars on a vet trip right now. My last pet was a bit of an impulse buy and it just wasn't working out and I had to return him to the pet store😔

Here in southern Mississippi we have these all over in the wild. I’ve caught and played with these cute guys my whole life, and only recently have I started to really get how special they are. I was never cruel to them, but I am willing to bet I hurt a few just by being too rough as a child. Now occasionally I’ll rescue some from my cat and bring them inside to be sure they’re ok. I’m teaching my daughter to be gentle and respectful, and a few have even chosen to climb on her and just hang out. They really are exceptional little guys and I’m so glad to have them in my yard!

Love all your videos but really appreciative of this one. I don't think these would have been on my radar otherwise. I'm more interested in the build of my paladarium than having some specific critter. But because of that the anole actually fits my needs really well. I was planning to build the enclosure with or without the lizard. Really looking forward to getting one.

@@AlbinoAxolotlIt's a pretty easy process, too. I start by approaching slowly then holding a mealworm around a corner so they can see the worm, but not my hand, which makes more likely to approach. Once you get them to take something once, they'll rather quickly start to associate humans with food and eventually start running over when they see you, though this can potentially be dangerous for them if they're located in a place where they might encounter mischief-makers, so I avoid feeding the ones along the edges of the property. I've found that the gold dust day geckos are by far the most open and persistent about hand-feeding out of the three lizards in my yard, to the point where they'll start following me around the yard until they get their treats. One even was bold enough to infiltrate the house through a hole in the screen and find me at the computer desk (Though he quickly learned to not do this after having to be caught and relocated one too many times).

These things are all over the place in Florida where I live. Every once in a while I will go to Petsmart and get a few to put in my screened in pool area. (I have a small garden out there where I put them) They get out... but since they are endemic it doesn't really matter. I think there are about 30 in and around my pool area at this point... I've only bought about a dozen, the rest come in from outside the screen to eat the crickets I put out. I also have an old 20 gallon tank in my room that I'll put some in from time to time just to watch. It's a hand me down from when my parents gave me a baby iguana. (the iguana ended up in a 5x5x6 ft cage within a year by the way) I have so many light fixtures and other supplies around from old terrariums that its easy to throw something together for a lizard or frog or insect that catches my eye in the yard so that I can watch it for a day or 2.

Love this. Your expressions and pronunciations give me major David Tennant vibes btw 😆. Years ago I was introduced the hard way to just how much goes into caring for a reptile. I got a beautiful bearded dragon. Much more costly than the anoles on their own, but he needed the same type of care that the anoles do pretty much. I wasn't lazy, I figured it out over time. He had a very wide open tank, lots of nooks and crannies, heat and uvs, and never missed a meal of crickets, kale, or a favorite of his, banana. Honestly the most consistently draining of all this was those friggin heat lamps. Dear god I couldn't ever find any that lasted over a month and it basically became an additional monthly bill! Lol He was a happy dragon though. Miss him much. Loved just chillin on the couch with him on my shoulder for a little bit.

I remember catching one and after handling it for a few minutes, it was just cool with being on me and eventually crawled up my arm to my shoulder where it then hung out at for hours while I was outside playing. It was no doubt an ideal basking spot since it was in the middle of the Summer in North Carolina and my shoulder had a lot of direct exposure to sunlight.
