Cage-and-Supplies

List of Supplies:
1. Hiding places- Anoles, along with crickets need hiding places like hollow logs or rock dens.
2. Plants and Sticks- Anoles are tree dwellers, so they will need many plants and sticks for climbing. Your Anoles will be in the plants and on sticks more than the ground. (Keep that in mind.)
3. Lighting- Anoles need some form of UV emitting light. I use a florescent reptile light. You can use any kind of lamp with a special reptile heat bulb. (Make sure the lamp doesn't overpower the bulb, otherwise you'll easily loose $8.) Be sure that you leave a cool end of the cage as well.
4. Heating- It is not necessary to have a heat pad, but it is recommended. Make sure you maintain the heat level with a thermometer. I would put the heat pad on the side of your light, so that you have a nice basking area, and a cool area for them to cool off.
5. Substrate/Floor- In my aquarium, I use reptile carpet. You also have the option of using moss or bark chips. If you use soil, make sure it doesn't have perlite in it. It's toxic to Anoles.
6. Water- Anoles mainly drink collected water on leaves, so a water dish isn't necessary, but I would recommend one.

First of all, you will need a cage. I prefer an aquairium, but screen terrariums work as well, they're just harder to keep warm. For two Anoles, a standard 10 gallon aquarium is suitable. I would say about five more gallons per extra Anole added. Remember, bigger is always better...
