Anyone Have Green Anole Experiance? Neglected Lizards!

[Silkmoth]

Can you tell us what company they came from?

Silkmoth, I sent you a PM.

A bit of an update for those interested, I have 6 anoles left. 2 males 4 females. The others were all males and due to very limited space and fighting I was forced to humanely euthanize them. I really didn't want to but it wasn't fair to them to keep them alive and force them to live with each other in such a stressful environment which would eventually turn to fighting to death. The remaining anoles are doing beautifully and are wonderful pets. They are getting healthier by the day and are very active. One male, Broccoli aka Broc, has begun breeding with his largest and healthy weighted female I call Big Girl because of how large she is. She's nearly the size of Broc. I've included pictures of both anole cages and both groups. The other male is named Geico.

findiviglio, The cage that Big Girl is in has no substrate since their cage is the tall one made out of screen and covered in plastic on the sides to keep humidity in. Would placing a decent sized dish full of moist substrate on the floor of the cage suffice for when Big Girl is ready to lay?​

They look great! May I will buy some to rescue. I want some to go in with my frogs. I give flies, bluebottles, to my mantids. I bet they would love them along with small crix. Are they fast enough to avoid Freddie my whites tree frog? I dont want them eaten if they will be pets.

They are very fast but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to mix species unless you have a very large enclosure. Your Whites tree frog will probably frighten the anoles, especially if he thinks they are food and hunts them. One of the cages in my pictures is a screen reptarium that is 16"x16"x30" that I got off amazon.com. Only $50. The plastic on the sides I got from Josh's Frogs is the larger screen reptarium plastic covers cut to fit the sides and half the top of the cage and stuck on the frame of the cage with shipping tape. Very quick and easy to do. I think I spent more on the decorum than I did on the cage itself!

Perhaps if you wait a couple months I will have babies to sell if Broc keeps it up! I noticed we live quite close to each other so no need to pay for shipping!

Hello,

White's Treefrogs hunt by night, when anoles cannot see well and move slowy; they frog will eat the anoles in time; ebven in large zoo exhibits, they are able to catch nocturnal house geckos. best, frank

They often lay in flower pots and bowls as you describe; moist substrate with some leaves, other ground cover usually fine, best, Frank

That's awesome! Do you know how long the females carry the first batch of eggs for after breeding occurs?

Hi..they can most likely store sperm, and can delay laying if conditions are not ideal, so it's difficult to figure gestation times. Here's some general info on breeding.

Quick update: Big Girl, the large female anole that Broc bred a week ago, is really starting to develop a pregnant belly! Here's some pics of her in brown and green.
