An update on my neglected anole colony. They appear to be doing much better and I now believe I have 3 males but one looks to be very young. His dewlap barely shows any color and he's very small and thin. Can he be housed with another male for the time being since he's so young and non aggressive? He acts just like a female and does submissive head bobs whenever the big male displays dominance. I only noticed it because, until a special aborial dish I ordered arrives, I've been feeding them every other day in a Kritter Keeper. It's the only way I can get them to eat. 7 out of 9 are eating well, including the big male and his favourite female who's very beaten up and covered in bite scars. I suspect she's had eggs before. I feed these two together and their behaviour is awesome! She waits for the male to eat first, then does submissive head bobs and takes herself a worm. Very fascinating! I ordered another cage that should be here by tomorrow according to the tracking info. Some supplies arrived and I tricked out their cage, they seem quite taken with the fake vine and bamboo stalks. I also got them a Mercury Vapor bulb. Enjoy the pics!
ETA: I was wondering if it's possible that some of these guys are Brown Anoles or another species of anole? Some have beautiful back patterns and others are active and alert but still a deep brown, others have brown noses and tails. Is this from illness or something else? You can see the brown ones and the back pattern in the pics.
