I feed both of mine 12 every 2 days, but the largest is like 7 inches.

They are very durable creatures at least mine are bahaman anoles so they take wear and tear like no other. Very lively creatures. I over feed them daily since it is easier for me

Although everyone here will say it is really bad to do that, but both of mine are wild caught and normally feed on small ants.

5 a day is more than enough. It probably eats so many since it is used to it. Then again it is a large one in my mind.

Water isn't a huge deal as long as they are getting it. Mine jump in the water dish fairly often. But it isn't deep so they are alright.
