The most recommended food for green anoles is two to three week old nutrient loaded crickets. Five to six week old crickets are too large (as with many reptiles, anoles may be scared of prey that is too large for them to handle; the size of prey items fed to them should be no bigger than 1/2 the size of the anoles head). Small mealworms and just moulted "white" mealworms can be offered occasionally. Small waxworms (Galleria mellonella) and flies can be offered for variety. Beetles should be avoided.

On an optimal feeding schedule, green anoles should be offered food every other day. Usually two to three food items are sufficient.
