Are you looking for care info.? You probably won't be able to find much on this particular species as far as a caresheet, they're another one that isn't as commonly kept. But there is quite a bit of "scientific/biological" info.
These are tree anoles found in Barbados, Bermuda, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Venezuela, and a few other places I think. Beautiful species, and can be rather expensive as far as anoles go, how much are you paying for them?
Their care requirements are pretty much the same as all other caribbean species. Being aboreal, a taller tank is way better than a longer tank. I keep plants in mine that have thick stems for them to hang out on (they're often found on the tree trunks). Lots of foilage is really good, they tend to be pretty timid and shy, and like to hide out in the leaves. I also have a waterfall to keep the humidity up (between 70-80%), and live plants help too, but I still have to mist because it's pretty dry where I live.
Their diet, behaviour, sexing techniques (hemipenile bulge, postanal scales, etc), etc. are pretty similar to that of all other anoles, although there are some species that tend to be more aggresive. I found the only differences in my setups (compared to my greens) were the types of plants I used, and they seem to like the higher humidity. I also keep mine a bit warmer, about 80-90 degrees.
I found an anole group that seems to focus more on the caribbean species-they were really helpful but said pretty much the same thing I just did. But maybe they'd be able to give you more specific details on this particular species. Let me know if you want the address.

You keep some yourself? that's so cool. Unfortunitly i will broblably have to import, i plan to breed a little and possibly sell them up here in canada. I was in Grenada during march break and fell in love with these anoles. the address of that group would be very helpfull, so was your information. thank you so much. If you have access to it, try giving your anoles some sugar cane to feed on, rip it into strips and they will chew on it (ones in Grenada did). again thank you

I'm in Canada too, so yeah, it's tough coming across different species.
I don't have any A. Extremus, but I've been dying to get some for quite awhile now, so I've also been looking for all the info. I can. Where are you going to get them from? I have A. Coelestinus (Haitain), another Caribbean species, and the majority of the caribbean species have the same care requirements.
The address for that other group is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/anole
and there's alot of members who are very knowledgable in Caribbean species. There's also the Anolis Contact Group, that's also a lot of very smart people.

Believe it or not i found someone up here who sells CB anoles, he dosen't have anolis extremus, but we might be able too get him to import them as a group. i'm thinking i'll get 1.2 hopeing to get them from Grenada, since i fell in love with the ones there. i'll PM you the email of this guy in case you are interested in any other species.

Hmm! I wonder what species you saw on Grenada? Anolis extremus is native to Barbados with an introduction to St. Lucia. There is also a very small colony near Ft Myers, Florida. Unless they are a VERY recent introduction, neither they or A. carolinensis are found on Grenada to the best of my knowledge.

from what i read a they are native to barbados and other surrounding islands, grenada is near barbados, at least near enough for a dash-8 to fly between I haven't seen any other anole that it may be, unless big headed anoles are in grenada?
