Hey, do any of you know why my Anole is rubbing his nose on the glass? I have two Anoles, so it can't be getting lonely.

How large is the tank? If the tank is large enough and there are lots of places to climb and hide, that should minimize or eliminate nose rubbing. For two anoles, the tank should be at least 20 gallons.
If that's not it, then maybe someone else has some ideas to help you.

I'm new to anoles. I have read that sometimes males will see their reflections and think it's another male..therefore trying to get it. Also like other post said make sure there are PLENTY of branches to climb on. They are arboreal so like to climb.
Most anoles are WC so it could be trying to 'get away' also. There is a great care sheet here on kingsnake.
