I love anoles and I find a lot of them. A couple of days ago I found and cought four male anoles in one minute. They act fine around each other and like to hang out together. Is anything wrong with them?

Just found an anole egg! 3 males and about 6 females and a tree frog to a 65 tall tank. Should I just leave it in the tank?

My class is getting green anoles and there will be people taking them home I created this for them. What critiques do you have?
Green Anole care
The Green anole, (Anolis carolinensis) are small green lizards that are native to the southeastern United States and parts of the Caribbean. They are known as the American chameleon as they can change color. ( Disclaimer: they don’t change really vibrant colors they only change tap brown. This also only happens when something is wrong in their environment
Green anole diet/food
Green anoles are insectivores meaning they only eat live insects. They can be fed crickets or mealworms as a base diet. Phoenix worms can be fed as treats and not a stable feeder worm. The insects can not be wider than the space between their eyes, because your lizard could choke. Make sure to feed your green anole 2-5 insects a DAY of your choice. Gut loading is an important factor in taking care of your green anole. This is feeding your feeders. Crickets and mealworms can be fed fruits or vegetables. (Not anything high in water). The insects should be dusted with Multivitamin powder, plus a calcium powder with D3 and another without. Mix the powders together in a bag in which you can put the insects in. Shake the insects in a bag. I created a tutorial on this so ask me if you’re stuck. Crickets need a big space to jump around so you can buy a special keeper of poke holes in a big tuber ware/ plastic container.
Tank setup/ list of supplies
List of supplies
– [ ] A 10 gallon preferably vertical tank of vivarium (mesh screen top with clips) Clean the tank weekly
– [ ] Spray bottle (for misting the tank for humidity twice a day)
– [ ] Lots of branches and leaves for climbing
– [ ] One reptile hide ( so they have some dark spaces )
– [ ] Hygrometer to measure humidity (60-70% spray less if it’s higher than that and more if it’s lower)
– [ ] Incandescent heating bulb with wattage that implies around 80-87 degrees (12-14 hours per day)
– [ ] Reptile UVB bulb 5.0 wattage 12-14 hours a day
– [ ] Thermometer that is used around the heating area
– [ ] 2-3 inches of coconut fiber on the bottom of the tank
– [ ] Crickets or mealworms to feed your lizard
– [ ] Two light fixtures for the bulbs
Tank setup
The tank has to be at least five feet above the ground to give the anole an arboreal effect. You can have a lot of fun moving different leaves and branches to create a setup that looks good and is functional. A good tank
Costs
* Green anole is free
* 10 gallon tank vertical $80-100 horizontal $20-60
* Screen lid $20
* Clips for lid $3
* Spray bottle $1-2
* Branches and leaves for basking (probably around) $30 total
* Reptile hide $10
* Thermometer and hygrometer around $10
* Incandescent heat lamp $15 plus electricity
* UVB bulb $15
* Coconut fiber substrate $8
* Crickets or mealworms $15
* Two light fixtures for the bulbs $30
* Supplements- in total $30
All of these prices are estimates, you could get everything cheaper or more expensive.
Taming
Unfortunately these are more of display pets and aren’t really that handle able. If you are interested in that type of pet try a leopard gecko or bearded dragon. Even though this is true many owners have still been able to tame down their anole. Try your to be calm and quiet when your around your lizard. This prevents them being scared of you. The key to taming them is PATIENCE, and taking small steps at a time.
Author’s note
Green anoles are beautifully vibrant green lizards in which be will be having in class. Since you are taking one home I made a care guide so you know just how to care for them. You can ask me any questions as I am well educated from a bunch of different good sources. I do encourage you to do more research even after this. You can never do enough research. Thank you for taking the time to read my guide, Willa Kroll

We have green anoles in the wild here in Hawaii. We consider them allies. One, a large one, has taken to coming onto our interior window frame, and licking it. It’s addicted. It does it daily, for hours on end. We know it’s not to find other lizards. We think it is to gather calcium from the white paint. What do you think?

Comment on Do Green Anoles Drink Water? (What You Need to Know) by Mark

They will drink from a bowl. Maybe if theres not enough moisture ? At least in the wild. Captivity could be different. Ive seen them drinking out of both of my dogs bowls. One on the front and another on the back decks. Actually kind of shocked me. Because I was always told they wouldn’t do that.

In reply to Grace Valverde. An anole came into my door when I opened it to go out on Saturday. He ran behind an entertainment center. I want it to live! How and what should I do? I live in Landrum S,C.29356. Can he just live in my apartment safely if I can’t find him ? I have an aloe plant nearby so I put a small jar lid of water in the pot so he has a water source. The article relieved about knowing it can live without food. What else can I do so he has whatever he needs during his welcome visit?
