Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Bark Anole Pair (Anolis distichus)
Hello,
After realizing how difficult A. allisoni are to find (still keeping my eyes pealed) I am trying to find something to fill my 12x12x18 viv that used to house my L. williamsi. I remember catching and hearing about a green phase of Bark Anole in the Miami-Dade part of Florida back when I was on vacation there. Looking for a pair, preferably of the green phase (I think I found them in the Fairchild Gardens area or in a neighborhood near Snakes at Sunset looking for A. garmani)

I know the species and the mentioned areas very well. I was planning on doing a big collect soon with barks high on my list. I'll have what you are looking for soon.

I should also mention, I've never seen one as green as the middle photo in FL. Only about half that green with more cryptic markings.

Yes the solid green ones are very rare although I have collected a few they are literally the needle in the haystack. The half green ones are around but also not so Common-. The "South Florida" Bark anole vary immensely in markings, color, size, and dewlap(size and color)... there are several species/subspecies and actually inter species breeding going through rapid rate evolution in some areas of South Florida. Anoles will evolve to fill any free ecological niche, many from the different islands will look the same and have the same roles but for example a "Bark/ Distichus" from island A are closer related genetically to the "Cuban Knight like Canopy Anole" of the island A instead of a similar looking Distichus anole from another island B. Although there might be some Half body lightly colored green males every now and again of Distichus I believe the Solid Bold green Distichus Type You are looking for is a different species or subspecies. It's exactly Like saying you want a blue phase Amercian Green Anole, Although it may exist what you want is Allisoni etc- a different species that has blue markings but is similar looking to the green anole.
I attached a picture I took recently of Brown Anole Combating a Crested or big head anole a Couple weeks ago- Over lapping species that cover the same niche fighting for space and possibly interbreeding. Crested or Big head anole on the brick- yellowish green body, lime green dewlap. Brown anole in the mulch- Brown with yellow spots and Red dewlap. They are not different color phases of each other, they are different species That look similar.
James If you do Collect a few Greenish ones please Post or PM me I would be very curious to see exactly what species it is.

Will do. I've got a few fairly segregated spots that I hit up that have some nice barks. Males are the tougher of the two sexes to find and catch though. Hopefully I can get you at least 1 nice male. Females are far more abundant. What I can also suggest is getting you what appears to be gravid females from the nicer locales and you can try your luck hatching some out for killer male. I use this method regularly to obtain animals I'm looking. Anoles retain for a couple months or more usually. So you may get several eggs from 1 female that has mated with multiple males. I'll send you a pm in a few weeks with the results of my hunts. Just waiting for the weather to drop a wee bit before I go looking. To hot down here even for lizards haha!
