please excuse the long message, but I'm in shock!
I have a 30 gallon tank. I have the proper UVA/UVB. I also have a daytime heat bulb, and one of those red bulbs for nightime. I mist their tank 3 times a day. Yesterday about 4pm they were all moving around. This morning I went to turn on their lights, and I always watch them for awhile. They were all Dead!! Their are 1 male and two females. They all got along fine, did not fight. They are all in separate areas, and all of them died with their eyes open. The only changes I have made in the last 3 days are these:
1. I cut a hole out of the top of the lid, and cut a piece of window screen to cover the hole. I did this so that I did not have to remove the whole lid to feed them.
2. I took some flexible aluminum mesh screen and rolled it and bended it to make fake branches. But I also have some wood branches and plastic plants. I just did this to give them more to climb on.
3. I had been getting my crickets from the pet store, but they only had the bigger ones. I read that anoles food should not be bigger than their head. So I ordered 1/4 inch crickets off of the internet. I fed the crickets Flukers cricket feed and the gel water. I gave my anoles about 10 of these small crickets per day.
What on earth could have caused them to all die suddenly. They were not lethargic that I noticed. And it would be different if they died one at a time, but all 3? Just 2 days ago they were even mating! And I thought they if they were mating then they must be comfortable in their environment.
Please help me figure out what could have happened
