Knight Anole

Place of Origin and Range	Knight anoles are native to Cuba, but have been widely introduced into South Florida, where they reproduce and spread readily. They cannot withstand freezing temperatures; in winter freezes in South Florida, they drop semi-conscious from tree canopies. In its native Cuba, this large anole is called chipojo.
Description	The typical colouration for a Knight Anole ranges from the richest and brightest of greens to the darkest of browns, with little variation in between. Coral pink dewlap, and yellow shoulder stripes.
Morph Patterns Available	Yes
Adult Size	Can grow up to 16 in( 40cm)
Accommodation	Knight anoles are arboreal although during the day are known to warm on asphalt, rocks, or sidewalks. They are very active and predatory lizards, requiring a large amount of space to run. They prefer high temperatures, up to 105–110 °F (41–43 °C) at their basking spot and 80 °F (27 °C) elsewhere in their habitat during the day. Grasses and lots of things to climb on.
Lifespan	Can live 16+ years
Feeding / Diet	The Anole's diet consists of small insects such as crickets, grasshoppers, spiders, and other arthropods. It also eats grasses. Many people who keep these lizards as pets feed them meal worms, grubs, and maggots, and small crickets. Meal worms though can be tough on their digestive track due to hard exteriors.
Other Considerations	It is fiercely territorial. Aggressive to anything that enters its territory, the Knight Anole will face almost any intruder it perceives to be a threat (from a distance). During its display, a lizard will sit high on all fours, gape menacingly, turn green, and perhaps bob its head. The male will extend its dewlap (a reddish-white flap underneath the chin), and both females and males will "puff themselves up" with air.
