Green anoles

[Beutiful nothing]

How are anole as a food source for a savanna?

you know just to vary its diet maby like once a week?

I dont know much people who do use feeder lizards but I wouldent use them...

There again, I wouldn't do it.

I might buy an anole to scent a mouse with, but that's about the extent of it. I really hate feeding reptiles to reptiles unless it is absolutely necessary to save an animal's life.

Agreed, I wouldn't do it unless it's necessary for the animals health. I dislike the idea of feeding reptiles to other reptiles, like Xeike said. You have a ton of option as to what to feed your Sav, so anoles aren't needed.

Plus I have such fond memories of saving the little guys from my cats when I was little...the bites, the pooping on me...ah, childhood.

Exactly!
I just hate doing that and its not a pretty idea...
I know some people that feed their ''hots'' Ball Pythons, Green Tree Frogs and I just dont like that...

[Xeikeness]

Yeah, I don't approve.



That? That is me not approving.

I breed/bred Anoles to start, hard to start, Milks and Kings who refused rodent first meal but I can't see where they would offer much to a Sav.
I would think you would be better off with rodent prey.

[Xeikeness]

Yeah... I've known a few snakes who had to eat anoles because they just would not eat anything else. I can understand that. Just just doing it to do it.... Not so much. And like John said, I don't think they'd offer much in the way of nutrition for your sav.

I don't like the idea either, but when it comes to keeping something that feeds exclusively on other reptiles, it's kind of a necessity.. Which is why I like keeping non-cannibalistic critters..
