Knight Anole Care

Graniteer Jan 17, 2007 10:23 AM

Hello. I am thinking about getting a Cuban Knight Anole, and can't seem to find any care info out there. If anyone has any info, please let me know. If they prove too difficult, I'll just not get it. Thanks.

As far as I know (and I could be horribly wrong - I hope someone corrects me if I am), the care is similar to A. carolinensis, except you need a MUCH larger cage. Something on the order of a 55 gallon tall for one.

Any natural plantings need to be of sturdy and substantial plants. They also take larger prey items and will readily eat pinkie mice.
One drawback is that wild caught adults are usually aggressive and can deliver a bite that will draw blood. CB juveniles usually are a bit more passive when they mature.

Wow. I think I'm going to hold off on the Cuban knight anole. That's a lot more than I am able to invest. I'm glad I was able to find out before I gave one subpar care. Anyways, thank you both for your replies.
