Hi New Anole Owners!

We're fairly new ourselves (one year September). We have a 5 gallon with one male anole and a 10 gallon with a mating pair and that seems to keep them all happy.

One note that we noticed for the first time ever: about a month ago our female of the mating pair started digging under the water dish. We had no clue why, until 3 days later when we found an egg next to the heat rock.

We are now quite close to being grandparents to our first anole baby! They egg looks great! Born Sept 13 (2 days after our 9 year old newt died - giveth and taketh), we noticed the egg was solid white and dented, and its been filling in and pinkish since then.

The egg was the size of a jelly belly gourmet jelly bean (the small ones). We have kept it moist and under a heat lamp and it seems to move slightly on occasion and just today it looks like I can see the baby inside. It has been 29 days... Its sooooo exciting!

We have wooden substrate. If you have sand, you could have an egg under the sand. Be careful if you check for it. According to other posts you should take care and try not to turn the egg after one day old. If you find an egg, post here. Lots of other herp surg-moms and surg-dads can help you with what to do next.

Best wishes!
