Green anoles as wtf food

[DazzleDiscus]

ah gotcha. Very small anoles would probably be ok as a rare treat.

sounds like it's time to set up a couple more tanks for anoles. if you keep buying them and feeding him them it is very likely you'll eventually kill him from parasites. if you raise your own babies the likelyhood will be much slimmer. plus that way you can choose when they're just the right size for him.

I believe LLLReprile sells feeder lizards in larger quantities, including both house gecko's and anoles.
They are listed on their website as feeders for picky snakes or something like that.

In europe it is illegal to feed live prey to anything unless it is the last possible solution (I currently volunteer for a world renowned conservation organisation bsed in Jersey and it is very rare that they have fed live prey to any of their herps).

As it stands, whatever you feed to you critters it is best that they prey are well kept and fed etc as the healthier the prey the healthier your criter.

With regards to the ethics of crickets etc, thay are not vertebrates and therefore there are not the same issues with cruelty as there are with other live prey as thay have a very limited nervous system. I would always be careful about the size of prey fed to anything you keep as I have known folk with lizzards being internally damaged by over sized crickets etc.

Whatever you decide good luck and happy herping!
