Green Anoles - How to Raise Green Anoles as a Real Life Hobby: A Successful Reptile Enthusiast Tells You His Secrets on How to Successfully Raise Gree (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665517911)

Author Al Fillon, retired after 33 years of public service and between projects, found himself putting in a tropical garden around his home and shares the unique outcome with his experience with his readers. The author decided to plant greenery to improve eye appeal and have bright green perennials around his home year around. Accomplishing this, the author decided that it might be nice to also have live tropical garden pets around to keep bug populations naturally controlled without pesticides. He remembered seeing a pair of live, dark green lizards (unidentified by name) on bug patrol inside a doctor's home in Manila, Philippine Islands during a visit. In relating back to that experience, he thought having a few colorful, domesticated garden lizards in his lush garden patio might be a novel idea and interesting, challenging hobby. It would be preferable that the lizards be colorful, friendly and domesticated. With that past experience and the idea on his mind, the author settled on the aestheticism of the "Green Anoles" for his tropical garden paradise. The author has added small groups of Green Anoles to his garden over the last seven years. This has given him a sufficient period of time to make personal observations and correlations about their life, habit and behavior both learned and instinctual; also, their interpersonal interactions with each other and their human caretakers. The author spends a good deal of time studying and researching historical information from enthusiasts and herpetologists. He plans to conduct his own research and analyze correlations regarding their behaviors based on his own observations, theories and perceptions. The author's garden environment is sufficiently populated and conducive to maintaining and supporting its existing Green Anoles population. He observes new additions of babies each breeding season, April through November and is amazed by their proliferation and how self-sustaining the "lounge" of Green Anoles are even under seemingly adverse conditions. The author feels this hobby and his pets have contributed to his physical and mental health and overall well-being. He feels that this book provides sufficient information on how to start and maintain your own "lounge" of Green Anoles - a really exciting experience. He wishes you a life of health and happiness and success with your own pet Green Anoles. The author now has several published books on various subjects and others at various stages of development and publication.
