We (my 8 yr old and I) acquired two green anoles (a male and female)about 2 weeks ago. They are in a 5 gallon 1/2 hex tank with live plants and orchid bark/soil substrate. It is lighted by a Sun Glo 25 Watt daylamp. The daytime temp remains at 80 degrees in the center of tank.

The female has started something peculiar. As dusk nears, she buries herself in substrate and then comes out the next morning. I have to say that the first couple of times she did it - I was dumbfounded as to where she was. I assumed she had escaped - only to find her live and well sitting on a branch in the tank the next morning (houdini). She has done it now for 3 nights in a row. So what is up???? Their tank is next to a window (for additional lighting). Is she beginning to hibernate??? If so, what should I do since the male seems to have no intentioon of doing the same??

Thanks!
