Rettili e anfibi

Anole verde

Anolis carolinensis

Cheap to buy but not cheap to keep well — a darting, dewlap-flashing display pet, not a handling pet.

Difficulty

moderate

Care tips

• Use a planted vertical 45 x 45 x 60 cm enclosure with climbing cover
• Bask at 29-32°C over 24-27°C ambient; UVB is essential
• Mist twice daily for 60-70% humidity — they drink droplets, not bowls
• Feed small dusted crickets and flies every 1-2 days
• Watch rather than handle; lifespan is 4-8 years
