Try brumating them. Lower the nighttime temperature to right at 60 degrees and the "day" period to 8-10 hours for 2-3 months. Gradually raise it back over a period of 10-14 days. They will think it is spring and mating should commence.

Also try a larger enclosure. A 20-gallon is too small for the number of Anoles that you have. Allow 10 gallons per Anole.

Dont panic . It doesnt have to be mating season for anoles in captivity to mate. it will happen , be patient. My pair started in nov. And laid thru march. The hard part is egg incubation (not every egg will hatch) And rearing (some may die or get eatin by parents or siblings).After that you need to find them homes or multiple enclosures. Very rewarding though and kind of heart breaking. Out of 10 eggs 3 of mine hatched 1 was eatin by his brother and 1 died at 3 mo old of a prolapse. I have 1 girl left and I worry about her every day. Silly me. My other female is laying now so we ll see what happens this time around.

That is an extremely low hatch and survival rate! I always have an 80%+ hatch rate and a 90%+ survival rate of the hatchlings.

I know! I think I messed with them too much . I ll do better this time around . One of the babies was eaten by its brother Who ate anything that moved no matter how big. Its no wonder hes the 1 who died of the prolapse. The eggs I touched too much.
