Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis)

Monday, April 5th, 2010

FAMILY: Iguanidae

LIFESTYLE: Arboreal; forest-oriented

DIET: Insectivorous

AVERAGE LENGTH: 7 inches (18 cm)

NATIVE CLIMATE: Subtropical and savannah

NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southeastern United States

Often sold under the mistaken identity of “American chameleon,” this anole is possibly the most widely known and most frequently purchased species of lizard in the United States. It is abundant in its native area and is therefore a relatively inexpensive lizard.

These lizards are capable of rapid color changes and are able to exhibit many shades of green and brown. The green anole is equipped with toe pads that enable it to climb vertically on glass walls. The male of the species is endowed with a red to orange dewlap that it often displays during territorial disputes and mating rituals.

Although readily available and relatively inexpensive, this iguanid usually lives only a short time in captivity – two years of terrarium life might be considered the maximum for many specimens.

DIET: Insectivorous and carnivorous

AVERAGE LENGTH: 12 inches (30 cm)

NATIVE CLIMATE: Savannah, tropical rain forest

NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southeast Asia

This nocturnal (active at night) gecko has a bark and a bite. The voice of this species can be heard clearly, and the lizard seldom hesitates biting its keeper at the slightest provocation.

Steppe and Desert Zones

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Sometimes eats other insects

AVERAGE LENGTH: 6 1/2 inches (16 cm)

NATIVE CLIMATE: Cool steppe, cool desert

NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico

When antagonized this species of horned lizard is able to emit a fine stream of blood from its eyes; the blood can be projected up to 7 feet (2.1 m). This lizard can also puff out its body by filling itself with air. Such extreme defense mechanisms are necessary because the horned lizard, sometimes referred to as the “horned toad,” is a relatively small, non-aggressive lizard. The health of these lizards usually deteriorates quickly when the animals are kept in captivity due to difficult temperature and humidity.
