The green anole is found in south-eastern USA, Cuba, Jamaica, and other Caribbean islands. Its habitat includes bushes, trees, rock walls, woods and around houses. Only the green anole is native to the USA; all other anoles are released or escaped pets, many of which have survived and bred. There are over 36 species of non-native anoles breeding in the wild in Florida - out of an estimated 250 anole species in the world. The vast majority of green anoles sold in the pet trade have been wild caught in the south-eastern U.S. There has been considerable interbreeding with introduced species so markings may be considerably altered from the true wild types.
