Have you guys heard of false chameleons ? They are neat little guys . Do we like em around here or are they imposters ?

There are 2 cuban anoles:
Cuban knight anole ( Anolis equestris )
Cuban brown anole ( Anolis sagrei ) a.k.a. brown anole, De la Sagra's anole

The zoo where I grew up had one of the former. It was on my "also rans" list if I couldn't find/get a true chameleon.
