Identification? (Cuban? Crested?)

ExoticOddities May 27, 2008 09:56 PM

I am new to Florida and found these anoles that I have never seen before, coming from the west coast.

They seem to be either Cuban or crested anoles.

Is there anyone who can say for sure?

Cuban anoles are a pretty green and they get quite large. They are also very aggressive when caught. It seems they will try to break their own neck just to take a chunk of flesh!

It looks like an Anolis sagrei. There isn't a backyard here in Miami that doesen't have a few scurrying around. They're way more common than the green anoles here.

Its a common Haitan Brown anole they are brown more robust not as skittish as green anole and in time the ones in your yard will "know" you and you can get close to them that you can place a wax worm right next to them and they will take it .

welcome to Florida

Cuban Crested Anoles are basically grown brown anoles with a Nape Crest.
