Anoles get to be about three inches long as adults, they need a UV and heat lamp, temp.75-80, 90 as a hot spot. Mist cage 3-4 times daily. Get anoles at least a 20-gal if you have more than one. I believe they are aboral, not too sure on that one. Yeah, they are aboral, I really think.

Anoles????
First off there are tons of care sheets out there including the ones you can find by clicking ’Care Sheets’ at the top of the page for this forum. That way you won’t have to ask so many basic questions. Google.com is another great resource. 3 inches? Including the tail it should be closer to 6" or even 7". Heck I’m sure I had one a long time ago that was 8". From snout to vent that is a different story and 3" sounds like the norm. Honestly Green Anoles don’t require a UVB light as long as they are given crickets dusted with some vitamin D. I had a group of them for over 4 years and never once had a UVB light over them. I don’t know how long they lived because I sold the whole lot but maybe adding a UVB light could lengthen their longivity. At least that’s what I’ve read. Arboreal is correct and a 20 gallon tank would be perfect for one male and a few females. Be sure the tank isn’t a 20 gallon long. Provide plenty if branches that reach close to the heat lamp but be sure that it’s not too hot. Plastic jungle vines that are suction cupped on the glass work great.

I disagee strongly with regard to UVB lighting. D3 supplementation, instead of allowing them to generate it internally with UVB, can easilly result in overdose. UVB lighting is much safer.
