anoles

who else has anoles as well as beardies? i have 4 green anoles, 1 brown anole, and a beardie...thats 6 lizards in my room lol

Me! They have a thread in the anoles forum. They are interesting little creatures.

I saw a hatchling outside two days ago - it could have perched on the tip of my thumb! We overwinter anoles inside when we find them in weird places. They ride inside on plants/tools/etc. and we find them all pathetic and thirsty. I keep a bunch of 10 gallon tanks ready to set up for anole hotels. Some of them have actually come back inside for a second winter - unique markings confirm! I guess they like the accommodations...

Awww that is so sweet to overwinter the anoles and give them a place to stay. Our winters are mild so we don't see them in need like you do. One of my anoles I'd captive bred and the other is wild caught. We found a teensy baby anole a month or so ago that was very dehydrated and we kept it for 48 hours under observation and then released it. It was the sweetest thing, I'll post a picture here later on.

What do you feel your anoles? We feed 1/4" crickets and mealworms. I bred mealies and we have thousands of little bitty ones right one. :shock: I'm not sure what to do with them all! We also feed very teensy silkworms when we have them.

Same things, except I also order a vial of bluebottle pupae to hatch into flies. I stick the adults in the fridge to slow them down come feeding time. The anoles go nuts for them! The flies are actually kinda pretty, but they make the most evil buzzing sounds when they get disturbed. :shock:

This is so awesome....this morning I woke up an turned my anoles light on and thre was an egg I was anaware that they mated so I don't have an incubator. I put it in a small container and put an uth under it and gave it moist soil so hopefully it will hatch. My 3 year old sis is so excited lol

No I don't know what that could be - I wish I did. No history of tail trauma? Is she shedding or about to?

We had one of our anoles get bitten by another one and he had a wound on his butt and we took him out and applied Neosporin. It was swollen and looked bad, but it healed.

Last year I thought my big anole was going to die. She developed a swollen lip and barely ate for months. I took her out and dripped Reptaid on her mouth in the area that was affected, she literally turned into skin and bones for a few months, and then she started to recover and looks amazing now. Even my sister thought she was going to die.

Can you post a pic so we can help you brainstorm? I know not eating for one day or even a week or 2 isn't going to kill them. How long have you had this anole?

ive had her for 6-7 months ill put a pic on later i put a small waxworm in bcuz she is skin and bone and wax worms are high in fat but she hasnt ate it. i think one of my mails bit it idk

i believe the egg is a dud but hopefully will lay some more this summer

UPDATE the green anole lost her tail but hopefully it will grow back

Hello,

Oh I have kept anoles, too they are so beautiful. I am sorry to hear about your female's tail! I hope it heals up fast.
