Default Anyone want green anoles at Exe expo?

Ive been thinking about hatching some green anoles for the Exeter show this year.
You always seem to get WC anoles and not alot are in very good condition (underweight etc). Ive had alot of compliments on my hatchling anoles and how nice they are.
Alot of people are interested in getting CB anoles but most are too far away and end up buying any old ones from pet shops.

But before i make any decisions i would just like some feed back?

Would anyone buy them?
Or be interested to see them, or know people that want them?

I may take one or two anyway, but if anyone wants some i can take more, so just spreading the word i guess.


cheers

If cb species are available there will be interest. I personally would go out my way to buy CB rather than WC. Id love some anoles but I know with the amount of spiders I currently have as well the cricket bill would rocket.

lmao! and there i was think anoles were soooooooooo cheap! Try having 7 beardies (including rankins). My anoles crix last aggggges so they dont cost me much.
I will take a couple of anoles maybe and if anyone wants to reserve any and pick up at the exe show they can go for it. lol

Ive always liked anoles and I was always thinking they were regularly captive bred and readily available didnt know theres a good few WC at expos.
Very tempting to cut down on my spiders and increase on the reptile side. Hopefully I can get a lizard my partner will like, she loved the uromastyx following her finger from the tank when we were in a pet shop, converting her to liking snakes and spiders would be miracle.
lol
I will be at the expo and if have funds or available viv may get a couple.

Just out of curiosity I presume what are called rankins dragons are basically what used to be called Lawsons dragons. I bout a book on beardies and lawsons dragons years back (bout along with books on snakes, spiders just bout everything. It is quite an old book and I never see anything about Lawsons so I am presuming they are now rankins dragons/

Yep Rankins are what used to be "Lawsons" dragons. Im not sure why the name has changed since their scientific name is Pogona henrylawsoni - Lawsons dragons would make more sense!

Well i ment wc in pet shops. Almost all anoles of any kind you get in petshops are wc unfortunatly or cf. But there are some good ones out there that occasionally get hold of cb.
I dont know about expo's, i assume most would be cb....but i really would'nt have a clue. Ive never heard of anyone comin back from an expo and mentioning anoles so dont know how common they are. Thats why i started the topic.
(ive not been to an expo before).
