Brown and Green anoles mating?

Question

ok just wondering. i got 3 brown anoles. two females and one male. like i sayd they are BROWN anoles. ive seen pics of brown anoles mating with green ones. so do they mate and can they sucessfully have offspring?

Answer 1

yeah, normally stress causes green one's to turn brown, mating is a cause of stress, but sometimes just plain brown ones are born, its fine, and it will work.

Answer 2

okay anyone answering this question by talking about their anoles changing colors shouldn't even own a lizard let alone answer the question. Green Anoles and Brown Anoles are different anoles. A green anole changing its color to brown DOES NOT make it a brown anole. That's like painting a ferrari and saying it's a camaro. Green anoles possess the ability to change colors to brown but it's usually a sign of stress, environmental conditions, or even camouflage. A brown anole does not change color, has different physical characteristics and designs, lives closer to the ground, and is NOT a green anole that has changed to brown.

Answer 3

The two species don't seem to hybridize in the wild although they are in the same genus. Introduced brown anoles tend to push native green ones out of an area. I have also heard of captive mating between the two but have never seen a photo of a supposed hybrid.

Answer 4

Don't all anoles have the ability to be either green or brown depending on their mood and surroundings? I am sure they can successfully mate and the offspring would be fine.

Answer 5

yes they will be fine . my anole changed colors some times he was green then sometimes he was brown
