Fathead anoles?

[Gene0514]

Hi everyone
I stopped at the lps today and saw that they got in some anoles. At first sight they appeared to be green anoles, but they are actually much bigger and bulkier. They have them labeled as "fathead anoles".

Does anyone know if this id is correct?
And what are their care requirements?

Look like Knight anoles to me.

 

[Gene0514]

No they're definitely not knight anoles
This is a knight anole

You can see the heads look completely different, as well as the scales

Anolis cybotes the large or fat head anole

hmm maybe
The coloration is different though
I don't really see any pics of Anolis cybotes that look that similar

anoles have the ability to change color...

 

[Gene0514]

yes i know but most of the pics on google aren't really similar

I have a reptile book with a picture of a cybotes that look identical to the one on the left, that how I knew what it was

Oh ok cool
How big do they get?
Are their requirements the same as green anoles?

The book (Terrarium Animals from A to Z) say they reach about 8" everything else seems basically the same as other large anoles
