Hello Elaine 11155:
Welcome to the boards. Some of us have been here for a long time and have seen lots of great information given here. Spend some time checking back into the archives and you should find lots of useful info.
On breeding the Anole's the babies hatch very quickly (depending on temp) and should be housed separately from the adults. They also are very prone to dessication so the availability of water for them to drink is very important. Care must be taken not to over-saturate the habitat as fungal infections of the feet are likely. Being very small (about an inch)their bodies can't retain a lot of water so it must be offered often.
The good news is they grow very quickly once they start eating and within a couple months they easily triple in size. Pinhead crickets and wingless fruit flies are a great first meal for the baby Anoles. Within a couple weeks they can easily take down week old crickets. Baby meal worms offered in a dish are also relished by the babies.
Good luck and if you have any other questions feel free to post them.
Good Luck and Have A Great day!!!
