[edit] Plagerized?
Almost this entire article was plagiarized from http://www.wildtexas.com/wildguides/anole.php. Either that, or the information there was plagiarized from here. This information needs to be rewritten, and the site given proper credit.

Also, an after thought, I checked this, and it looks like someone fixed this. Thanks somebody. Garnet avi 05:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Prposed move
I propose this article to be moved to Anole since it is the commmon name for the family. Joelito 21:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not NPOV
"Anoles, though relatively inexpensive themselves, are amazing lizards to keep and raise."

I also believe this is inappropriate, as it seems to encourage taking a wild creature into captivaty, which should never be encouraged. That said, I'm going to look for a rewrite tag to add to this article. I may try my hand at it this weekend, but I can't now. I'm quite fond of these little creaures, so I hope this article improves soon. Garnet avi 05:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blue Anole?!
OK I was watching a show about Cuba and it showed a blue(!) anole! Does anyone know what species it is?? --Mitternacht90 15:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Only four genera?
Even the fairly conservative ITIS [[1]] (the U.S. government's Integrated Taxonomic Information System) lists 8 genera for this family. The edgier and more genetically-oriented NCBI [[2]] lists 13, and has made Polychrotidae a subfamily (Polychrotinae) of the family Iguanidae. Some mention of these discrepancies with excellent authorities should be made, I would think. Any comments? NaySay 18:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
