my anoles have this thing now that they like to hang upside down on the lid... normally its under the light but i've seen them do it other places... other than the possibility of them being cold is there anything else causing them to do this?

Yes--they are probably cold. Check your temps at the basking spot. It should be 85-92 there and a temperature gradient of 75-83 or so throughout the enclosure.

I have also seen anoles do this even when the temperatures are fine. So it could just be a normal behavior

My female use to hang upside down on the screen so that she could give the male anole the "People's Elbow" Yep thats right to many cages matches for her. She would climb up on the screen position herself right above the male and then .......BAM! People Elbow delivered in such a way as to make the Rock tear up. Now your saying bah just because she did this once......OH NO, not once, but over 4 times that I saw. She was quite a character.
