Housing mass anoles and breeding

closedcasket88 Feb 21, 2007 11:39 AM

I have a male and female of these little critters, i forget how i acquired them, i normaly just breed ratsnakes kingsnakes and cornsakes and house other reptiles. never got into anoles .
after watching them eat and just chill and rock out to what i would call there "home" it makes them more appealing to me .
i know males can be highly aggressive but if a cage were to be big enough ( i build customs) would they b ok ?. i would like to get like a good dozen or two for breeding purposes and for trouble eater snakes(snakes that wont take a pinkie when first born)and just plain ole personel enjoyment., i would give them a water fall in there tank , lots of trees, vines all kindsa stuff , if theres enough room and there not ridiculously over poulated would these conditions be ok ?
what makes it easyer to get these guys to breed and to get the fertility rate up . i remember when i was a kid i would find eggs in there tank evry so often but they were always duds

i noticed the mmale has been making signs(dewlap red showing) constantly , i just give them privacy so i dont know or can e en see any signs of her being pregnant.
how could i incubate the eggs when its ploped out . temp? humid?how long does it take?

Well, for starters, you probably shouldn't mention that you're going to feed these to your snakes on an anole forum. I mean, if I went and posted that I was feeding garters to giant lizards or something wouldn't that piss you off? Anyway, I'm pretty sure you have to have 6 feet per male (I don't know where I read it).
