I agree, brown anoles are preferable to green due to the invasive species factor. Yes, if you happened to get offspring, you could use them as feeders-just keep in mind hatchling anoles are tiny, and as such not very fulfilling unless what you are providing them to is also small. As for green tree frogs--some people do breed them; and as a matter of fact are more economical than anoles if you wanted to raise your own--just google how to breed them. As for the parasites--this is a subject of much debate. Most herps, CB or WC, carry some form of intestinal parasite at some point or another. Yes, a little of many organisms considered parasites doen't seem to do much harm so long as the herp is strong and healthy. Example: pinworm (commonly gained by eating crickets) Others, though are dangerous even in small numbers. Ex. lung flukes, many coccidia, etc.
