my new crested anoles

[max power]

well i got my anoles today. i already have war wounds from them. aparently they werent too happy about being shipped. the big male in the first picture kept screaming at us while being handled, somthing i wasnt aware anoles could do. most of them are juvies.

nice lookin anoles max, and you do your nails quite nicely for a dude

 

[geckomaster]

Those are really nice animals. Good luck with them.

 

[Brian]

Sounds like typical behavior for that species.

 

[miguel camacho!]

whats the scientific name on them?

 

[max power]

Anolis garmani

the big boy reallly pissed off at me for handling him

showing his normal coloring

and again very unhappy about being handled

 

[Jan Grathwohl]

Why do you handle them? They quite obviously don't like it.

I love anoles. Try and breed them know one does. I cant wait to get my Cayman island anoles. Blue throat baby.

ok...i was about to say. what you have arent crested anoles, the common name is better known as the jamaican giant anole. when i clicked on this thread, i figured i was going to see some of the same species i have found as exotics in s. florida. cant remember for sure, but i think the crested anole is know as anolis cristellatus or something. i should be able to google, but my eyes are shutting as we speak and i need to get to bed.

Yes, I expected to see actually Puerto Rican Crested Anoles too.

But I believe Jam's are also called Jamaican Crested Anoles too.

So Crested anole is an appropriate name for them, but most refer garmani as Jamaicans giants and cristatellus cresteds.

Great looking anoles too, hopefully the one with the rubbed off snout gets better, I'm sure it will.

 

[miguel camacho!]

bah! just another reason common names suck!

not anyone's fault, though.

i love anoles! I will go around the world to catch all types!
