    I've been watching this guy outside my window for the past months. It was a real small hatchling when i first saw it and i notice it had a BRIGHT BRIGHT red/orange head, i was determind to get this guy. Now ive gotten my knees dirty a million times, jumping in bushes, getting my face in the dirt, he allways slipped away, but today !!! I GOT HIM!!!!!! YES!!!!!

    Question: Is this red head going to be geneticly able to carry to his/her offspring? id like to find a mate for him/her that has a distinct color in the head just like him. I im thinkin its a female.

    Question 2: What would be a good name.

    I THINK I CAUGHT HER BROTHER!!!! YES!!! i still cant believe after 20 years living at this house i've never seen a normal anole with these bright colors, ive been keeping a eye out for a brother/mother/father with the same orange/red head and i found another! Same spot! Right by my window, a male! So i know i can breed them now. I hoping to stumble on the mom / dad full grown with that color head. I still cant believe i just caught another, a lil bigger than her in the pics.

    Awe, thats a cute little anole. I remember when I was little I used to catch them in Texas and my mom would get all mad cause I brought them in the house. I think I may have caught some that looked like that too. They're neat.

    Your so lucky dude. Those look really rare, if only I had one. Are they cuban anoles?

    I could be mistaken, but I think I've read somewhere that the females have red heads. I live in South Florida, & see tons of those red-headed little guys all the time.

    it looks cool, but like janice said, im not so sure they should breed they could both be hurt, and/or the offspring may not live.

    yeah...but are you sure they are related at all? it could just be coinsidence that they resemble in colour.
