Ok, I thought I would post photos for your all of my gorgeous Green Anoles (Anolis Carolinensis). I own 4 anoles total: one handsome male and 3 lovely females. Here are the pics I took of each and every one of them. Tell me what you think. :lol: My gorgeous male anole, Buster: My little beauty female green anole, Yumi (pronounced Yoomee: who is currently gravid-she is expecting in 1-2 weeks or less): My second gorgeous female anole, Ami (Ahmee): My youngest female anole, Amy: Oh, and for kicks, a pic of my male Buster and Yumi (who I believe is gravid now) mating:
Thanks luke!! I am proud of each and every one of them!! Also, how can I determine for sure if one of my anoles is pregnant/gravid?? I suspect she is, but I was wondering if there is any other signs I should be looking for??
I got them through a pet-store, why do you ask?? There really are no breeders or specialized pet stores around here that would sell captive-bred animals. These are all wild-caught anoles, which I purchased from PetsMart and Petco, or actually "rescued" them from there (all the other anoles were extremely emaciated, and some on the brink of death... especially the ones at Petco....poor things ).
You may see the eggs, however the most prominent factor i've come across is when the females begin to dig. How long ago did they mate? Baby anoles are so cute!
So only if I see her digging can I determine if she is indeed pregnant?? Are there any other physical signs, as in behaviors or features PRIOR to the egg-laying, to look for?? Oh, and they mated about a week ago. She sure has plumped up since around that time and shortly after, so they could have mated once before without me seeing it, and she could be further along than I think...I did go on a few trips, and left the anoles alone one weekend. So she could already be anywhere from 1-2 weeks in, depending. And there were days I was busy and not at home, so it is possible she is getting close to that time, but I am still unsure.
Thanks Jill. These are green anoles, much like the one you saw in GA. Yet they are local to GA, FL (but are being pushed further north due to the Cuban/Brown anole taking over its territory), and as well as Louisiana and South Carolina.
