They are common anoles.

Those little guys are very common to us Floridians. They are called anoles. They can change colors from green to brown- that's about it. The males are larger and have a coarser appearance. The males also have a bright red dewlap under their chins which they inflate to make themselves appear dangerous. Right. It almost looks as though they are doing pushups when they threaten you. Anyway, I would feed your little anoles small live crickets. I don't think you will get them to eat anything that is not alive because they need that movement to trigger the hunt and eat response. You can get the crickets at most pet stores. Cheap. For water, everyday put a plant leaf that has been sprinkled with water into the terrarium. They will lick the water off the leaf. That is all the water they need. Some small branches and something to hide in will make them feel comfortable. Good luck with your little lizards.

OK first you need around a 20 gallon tank for these guys ok then get a UV bulb or just go into petsmart and see what they say there all pretty much the same then get like a water dish these guys will eat crickets so you need to give them like 10 each a day depeneding on the size of the cricket and the lizard should be no bigger than the space between there eyes just take them out at night so they dont chew on there skin you can buy like 500 online and get them shipped to your house go to google and type in like NYcrickets and the site will come up make sure you mist them daily in case the dont drink from there water dish (most wont) thats all i can think of right now if you have any question feal free to email me and i hope i answered your question =]

I know the lizards you are talking about and they are a type of enole. I'd suggest going to your local pet store with a picture of one of the little guys and seeing if you can get some info.

they're referred to as geckos or brown anoles (from one to 5 inches long in length).. they stay exterior and can't proceed to exist interior our Florida properties... you do not feed them something and you leave them by myself exterior... they're area of our ecological device and consume particularly bugs. in the event that they're larger in length then it incredibly is a various tale...
