I need some advice for how to keep baby brown anoles. I have an egg and i am not sure how to care for the baby if it hatches.

The care and space requirements are the same as for an adult. The only difference is in prey size. Pinhead crickets, fruit flies, and leafhoppers are all appropriate food items.

That wouldn’t be a good idea, as hatchlings can be mistaken as prey for anoles. Its best to keep the baby separate until it is larger in size. Also, since every anole needs ten gallons each, it would further lead to the overcrowding in your ten gallon tank... Best bet is to keep the baby separate til it grows, and then if you want to keep them all together, get a 40 gallon tank. A lot of pet stores frequently run sales of a dollar per gallon or you can find cheap tanks on sites like craigslist! :)
