Here in Florida, brown anoles are one of the top foremost prey for cornsnakes, especially young ones. I have fed corns thousands of lizards over the past decades, and they take them like there is no tomorrow.. Just yesterday I had to scent a pinkie with an anole to get it to eat on it's own. Without the scent, it wouldn't even look at a pinkie.



Most adult wild-caught corns in the Florida area will slam the heck out of a lizard or four as well. Wild Miami phase corns are renowned for being lizard eaters too. They are definitely an all around big part of their diet in the south, no doubt about it.



Yellow ratsnakes from the southern area relish lizards too. In central and south Florida, there are anoles on every single upright tree and bush you look at, on every fence, and on a warm sunny day, I have almost stepped on tons of these because they are zipping all over the sidewalks..LOL!



When I was growing up in Ft. Lauderdale, our yard alone had countless thousands of brown anoles, and some green anoles as well(aka Chameleons, but are not true ones at all).
