You can’t leave the light on 24/7 if that’s what you mean. You will need a basking light before an under tank heater. An under tank heater is necessary if your room temp falls below 65F. Males have longer heads than females and 2 enlarged scales near their anal vent. Males are also bigger than females being 7-8" while females are 5-6". Babies will always have to be separated from their parents unless you want cannibalism or inbreeding. Sterile soil is best but read a book on building terrariums before you start breeding mold.

How about searching for ’Care sheets’ on anoles?

Anoles don’t need any heating at night unless the temp of your room falls below 65F. The night light is great for noctunal species like most geckos and frogs.

The anal vent is the area inbetween the hind legs where the feces come out of. It’s also the part of the body used for mating and of course egg laying. If I was to explain it to a child; "It’s where the poop and eggs come from".

Yes, keeping the humidity high by misting the tank at least 3 times a day will help them shed. It is a must unless you use something else.

Baby food or even blended fruits will most likely not be eaten by the anole unless you really work with them. Just worry about using live food until the anoles become a little more accustomed with you.

I’ll do that as soon as I get my computer to run like it should when I’m using Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. I’ll probably have to reformat it and reinstall Windows XP.

I hate reformatting. My little girl crashed my computer a few weeks ago. Lost every thing. The worst thing was all of our thanksgiving and christmas picture were all lost. What a bummer.
