I had a male, female and baby and my female drowned the other day. The male I have is not the male my female bred with but the baby is hers. Should I get another female or will the others not be affected?
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your female.

It is my understanding that anoles are not "social" creatures therefore the male will not be affected.

9 times out of 10 the baby is removed long before it ever sees its mother so since there is no "caring" for the baby by the female I again see no issue. You should be fine not replacing the female if that is not your desire.

Thank you for the input.
I had removed the baby right before she hatched then added her with the adults when she was larger.

I don't think I will get another anole. I feel bad enough about the one that died.

i can't really answer your question but i'm really sorry about your anole and that's so cool you got your egg to hatch. mine got crushed how'd you do it?

Thanks for the condolence.

As soon as I noticed the egg, I removed it carefully and put in in an incubator that was simply a small plastic container with some holes on top for ventilation. I put some reptile bedding in it and mist it lightly. I placed the egg in the center in a little well and covered it lightly with more bedding them mist again and cover. I kept it in the same tank as the adults but in a corner out of direct light but where it will stay warm and humid. I checked it every week to make sure it is moist but other than gently rolling it over I didn't touch it. It took longer than estimated to hatch but I was pleasantly supprised when it did!!!
Maybe you'll get another chance to hatch one, it's pretty cool.

You have to roll them over?
I thought that kills the embreyo.
