Anole Egg or Something Else? 
my female has been laying eggs too!--they look slightly bigger than a grain of rice-- at first they are soft and leathery----then expand and become hard shelled.---mine have gone yellow when they get hard.anoles can lay up to 12 eggs in one mating season---and you are right....females store the sperm when mating--that way they can produce multiple offspring--if they didnt the species would be extinct right now. about the cracked open eggs-----they propably are. I found an egg that my female layed--incubated it---but 3 days later found it cracked open. I know that if there is another female--they will disturb the eggs.
she could have done it herself--or perhaps the crickets chewed it open--- that is what I think happened to mine the crickets got to it...cause it looked chewed. babies should hatch in no more that 45 days. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO REMOVE THE EGG IMMEDIATELY---AND MANAGE TO NOT MOVE--OR ROLL IT--THIS WILL KILL THE EGG.---you have to make sure to keep it in the exact postion as it was found. Anoles will lay eggs anywhere--then bury or hide them if they can. I have found all my anoles eggs high up on her repti hammock--out in the open.
hope this helps---you can PM (personal mail) me anytime if you have anymore questions or comments!!
