He's a great looking critter. I hope to have some of his offspring soon. He's got a whole hoard of women at his disposal.

Awesome...is that a brown anole?

I believe him to be a form of hypomelanistic (as opposed to erythristic).... He can't change colors the way normal browns do. He only changes very slightly besides that he's this usual red color. I'm hoping to prove his genetics soon...

Incredible...maybe this will get some more attention for "humble anoles"....I've always loved anoles. That color is fantastic. What color is his throat fan?

But his throat fan is red... and seems comporable to a normal browns dewlap; as in, it doesn't seem any more red/orange than usual.

He's a fantastic creature, I hope his color proves out for you, and you have some red babies....will you keep them, or sell them?

If it proves dominent or co-dom.... then I'll sell the first generation because hets would be visible obviously. But if it appears to be recessive then I may be motivated to hold back all the possible carriers just to prove whether or not it really is recessive or if the males genetics are a fluke. Either way baby's from him will be available this year at the earliest next year at the latest.

Fantastic...I might have to pick some up.
