Anoles and Rough Green Snakes

kellybee Jul 03, 2006 09:48 AM

Hi all, first post ever, am hoping that someone out there can help me..... my other half used to keep anoles, but when he moved to the UK he had to find new homes for them. Now he has rough green snakes. They were WC but are really healthy, fed first day, fed every other day since, shed ok etc, don't bother freezing or hiding when there are people about, they are really great. He now wants more Anoles, and has read on a few sites that they can be kept together rather than buying yet another viv. I know they have the same requirements, and there is very little chance of them doing each other damage, but I've never seen CB anoles, and am wondering if WC anoles AND snakes will just be a recipe for disaster? If they were CB then I might have a different opinion.... any ideas? The viv is 3' tall x 2' x 2', and contains 2 x snakes, lots of clinbing space, several basking spots at different heights, and has lots of plants as well as branches.

Any advice?

mixing species is a bad idea, especially between snakes and lizards, i dont know specifically about rough green snakes but i know most snakes eat anoles. i would definately suggest getting another cage for them.
