Hello,

I must say I was very surprised to find my query had ignited a debate over whether or not the brown anoles deserve to exist in this country. They are here, they are very welcome on my lanai, and I want them to be safe and to thrive.

I just hope my beloved brown anoles are OK, and am concerned about them. Based on the concurrent scenarios I presented, I was hoping someone may be able to offer some insight as to what may have happened to them, and I do thank el-toro for the theory regarding diminished food supply, and the words of encouragement from Kellybee. I wish the anoles had a pesticide-free, bug laden garden to move to, but our lanai is completely enclosed, and all the plants were sprayed. The only way in or out for them is the door, which we have to keep shut, or else birds, rats, and snakes get in. Kellybee, you mentioned rain - we have not had any rain since the spraying. Do you think it would be a good idea to water all the planted areas in order for the bugs to return? Also, might there be something I could give them to eat (something non-bug, and easy for me to procure) that might sustain them, if they are still around somewhere in the lanai?



Thanks,

rustyrules
