I am just curious as for a grand total how many anole species there is in Fl? I realize there is the Green Anole, Brown Anole,Knight anole to but there is bound to be more than that in FL. If you guys could compile a list or link me in the right direction I would appericate that very much as I am going to St. Petersburg in Julyso I will know what are kinds are there also if you could complie a list af anole species in St. Petersburg it would also be appericated.

Thanks in advance Signed,Adam Bradbury

There is also the Jamaican Giant Anole, Cuban Green Anole, and Marie Galante Sail-fin Anole. So along with the Green (w/1 sub-species), Brown, Knight, Bark, Crested, and Large-headed Anole that makes 9 species in Florida that are known to have breeding populations. I believe with the exception of the Brown Anole, most of the other introduced species are in the Miami (Dade and Broward Counties) area.

Hi,

these are the (mainly introduced) known species of Anolis.

A. c. carolinensis;
A. c. seminolus;
A. sagrei [ssp. depend on theorie, assumeable A. s. sagrei];
A. distichus (ignigularis);
A. c. cristatellus;
A. equestris (floridanus = A. e. equestris);
A. garmani;
A. chlorocyanus;
[A. ferreus, Bartlett did mentioned this. Perhaps the species is now extinct].
A. cybotes
A. porcatus

The species within the [ ] are not very trustfull. More research have to be done before saying anymore oabout there introduction.
