Blue Green Forktail Anole – Captive-Bred

One of the rarest and most eye-catching anole species in the hobby is the Blue-Green Forktail Anole (Anolis proboscis), also known as the Proboscis Anole. This lizard, which is indigenous to Ecuador’s cloud forests, is well-known for its male’s long, flexible rostrum, or “nose,” which it uses for rival displays and courtship. For sophisticated keepers and collectors, this species is a show-stopper due to its subtle blue-green coloring and slender, arboreal build.
