Anoles do bite, it may not hurt much but they do bite. I had one locked onto my thumb at a petshop once.

 QUESTION!!!!!!

I usually feed my anole small crikets but I have given him some of the smaller "large" crickets - they were a little bigger than his head. He eats them (and it’s fun to watch him hunt them) but you have to be very careful that he doesn’t choke. When they eat large crickets like that it’s kind of like a snake eating something big - they take it down in gulps. A fun treat you can feed your anole is a moth. They’re pretty easy to find and catch - just stick it in his cage and watch him go nuts trying to catch it!

 QUESTION!!!!!!

yea i know wat ur sayin but i dont think anole can choke b/c wen i feed mine waxworms as a treat....they waxworm takes up the whole throat while eating and they can still breathe...i htink like most reptiles they hav a johnstonson’s organ which is a tube on the top or bottom jaw that helps them breathe in these situations
