Update on terminally brown green anole

el_toro Oct 15, 2003 10:52 PM

Well, I changed the basking light from a 100W household bulb to a 50W basking bulb - this is in a glass 29g tank. The high temp in the basking area before was 86.9 and today the high temp was 89.6. I'm at work most of the day, but she was still not green, but a somewhat lighter shade of brown when I did see her.

She spends a lot of time on the top leaves directly under the UVB bulb (maybe 2 inches away).

I've also not seen her eat in the last two days. I haven't yet tried the dish of goodies up higher in the enclosure to see if that will help. She still looks fine, if not super fat, so she might be hunting and eating the crickets that she ignores when I'm watching. I just cleaned her enclosure last week, so she's VERY distrustful right now. That, plus adjusting the lights, and arranging the probes, etc, are probably stressing her out all the more...

It's probaly something minor.. just keep playing with things (as un-stressfuly as possible) and let us know what it is when you find out
