It wasn't what I ordered. It wasn't what I wanted. It's what I got. Good looking though so I'll keep it. I cannot find a care sheet after 5 hrs of looking. Can somebody give me the complete info for taking care of this critter or a link.

Hi, I think you have what is also referred to as a bush anole or a common monkey lizard? Pretty cool looking lizards, neat colors.

I had read a tiny bit about them along time ago if it's the same thing you have, it lives in the canopys, in trees, bushes, and hangs in the edges of the forests near water(streams).

It it diurnal, roams during the day. They are egg layers, and I would imagine they would thrive on any kind of small insects, since they live in a foresty area.

Beings it is in the anole family, I would look them up and see if you can find these guys talked about at all. Probably could use the same temps.

Sorry I could not help, with care sheets, I have never really found one if I do I will certainly let ya know.

Good Luck with your new friend.

I had one in December, a severely emaciated, severely gravid one. She ate for me for the first few days, but then went down hill. Had eight HUGE eggs in her.

They need high humidity. Someone said they saw my girl drinking from a water dish, but she also drank from a syringe/eye dropper for me. Still, I'd mist at least once a day. The National Aquarium in Baltimore has them, might try to find scientific journals with articles written by S. Barnett.

Enclosure should to be taller than long.

I'd think any insect would be readily consumed, but I'd start with crickets. Adult crickets shouldn't be a problem for an adult lizard.
