The Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) is a small, arboreal lizard beloved for its bright green coloration, expressive behavior, and ability to thrive in naturalistic setups. These captive-raised babies are acclimated, feeding well, and ready for a properly prepared enclosure.
Unlike wild-caught anoles often seen in pet stores, these juveniles are raised in clean, controlled conditions and come from strong, healthy parent stock. They are active, alert, and display classic anole behaviors such as basking, hunting, and color changes between green and brown based on mood and environment.
Green Anoles are excellent for keepers who enjoy creating lush, bioactive habitats filled with plants, branches, and microfauna. With proper care, they are hardy, rewarding, and incredibly fun to observe.
