• December 2003
• I completely chose this article because i don't know anything about anoles.  I didn't even know what they were until i noticed them in the article.
• I liked learning more about what these anoles were, what they looked like, and everything else. To me they look like tiny crocodiles mixed with geckos with a long straight tail. Its nice to learn new things, especially a whole new species. For that, I'm happy about the knowledge of this article.
• I learned that some anoles come from Cuba, the Bahamas, Jamaica and other various places. Also, i learned that some can change colors like chameleons. Some are bigger than others as well. Also in both genders both of the have a big red dewlap on there neck, but males have bigger ones.
• I have a lot of questions about them though. What are there environments like? When do they usually breed? Stuff like that is what i'd like to know still.
• I would get one of these anoles. I find them interesting now that i found out about them.
• Some of these lizards cost 65 dollars.
• They can be bought at reptilesncritters.com or amazon.com for about 60-80 dollars.
• They have 5 different morphs, but some can change colors.
• The native green anole can cost 30 dollars. Ive researched and seen a brown anole for 15 dollars.
• I would believe that they would be endangered, since I've never seen one, but they actually aren't.
• A permit is not required for having an anole as pet.
• To take care of these you should have a hiding place for them. daily maintenance, and you should be alright.
• I'd categorize them as beginner pets
• I was most interested in discovering and learning about the anole.
