Carolina Anole

Description:

The Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) is an arboreal lizard found primarily in the southeastern United States and some Caribbean islands. Anoles are often territorial. Some have even been witnessed fighting their own reflections in mirrored glass. Stress in an anole can be identified by several symptoms, including a constant shade of brown and a persistent black semicircle behind their eyes, and chronic lethargy. The anole's diet consists of small insects such as crickets and grasshoppers; it also eats grasses. Many people who keep these lizards as pets feed them mealworms, grubs, and maggots."
