Do you mean use them as food for humans? Highly unlikely due to regulations needing to be met to sell human quality foods. Also, who would want to eat a scrawny little lizard when a chicken has so much more meat? Or rabbits for that matter.



A ready supply of anoles to be used as snake/lizard food for species of reptiles that naturally prey on these lizards or similar species could be a market to aim for but it isn't likely to be a very good money making one.



Most reptiles are pretty specific in what they will eat, whether they are opportunistic or not. Insect and vegetation eaters probably have the greater variety, giving there are so many different varieties of both in any insectivores or vegetarian species's natural range. Snakes that eat primarily rodents aren't likely to switch over to lizards, unless they naturally will eat lizards in the wild. Some species may do this during early years but not bother with anoles as adults.
