I have not bought from them, but you can try http://www.diamondreptile.com/. They appear to have Knight Anoles available.

I just noticed a guy on the classifieds here who is selling a variety of less common anole species, if you're in the US.

thanks Torey, the diamondreptiles.com is a great site. by the way is the blue anole the same as the blue-headed anole (Anolis alissoni)? they also had knight anoles for only $24 I thought that was pretty good.
thanlks anyways,
wesley

Wesley,

the blue anole is not the same as the blue head anole. First att all the blue anole comes from Guyana from were it's sold under the name Anolis roquet. Notice A. roquet has never been introduced to Guyana and the Grenadian related A. aeneus does, I can say to you that animal is for 100% an A. aeneus. This is the only Lesser Antillian roquet group related species introduced to Guyana. Unfortunately the Guyana aeneus aren't as beautifull as many of the aeneus from Grenada and especially the Gre. bank (all kinds of variate patterns, and collors can be found there). The Guyana are not verry collorfull and almost always lack the dorsal patterns.
Morphological A. aeneus and A. allisoni look somewhat to each other. Evenlike the whole gender anolis does (exept from the knight, but these can be comparde to the other knights). But, looking to there bone structure and lots things like mtDNA says many aen't as reletd at all to each other. Anolis aeneus should be a totaly differant genus called Dactyloa. Anolis allisoni is one of the few true Anolis. Species like A. marmoratus are called Ctenonotus, species like sagrei and all kind of north living mainland species and a few of jamaica can be put within the genus Norops, and as for an other example the Cuban rock and water Anoles (A. bartschi and A. vermiculatus) are placed ithin the genus Deiroptyx. There is lots of taxonomic still to do within all anoles. Earlyer these new names were already used but since the couldn't get out of it Hass has put all back in the Genus Anolis. So, I can assure you, the willet their new names onces.

Knight anoles grow very big and their nature diet almost mostly consist of other small species of vertebrates and in captifity also relateds, and also some fruit. The are easy to keep exept that the need enormous enclosure (I do think you want to keep them good?). The are very territorial to each other, and have huge territories in nature. The best is to keep them separted or just in big enclosure (about 10 x there SVL = the lenght and hight in CM) with lots of hiding places.

For the uncommon species just see the website below my name.
