 PLEASE HELP!!

I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE OFF TOPIC but I need opinions....
the people on the anole forum aren’t too informative or nice.(no offence to anyone)

I found my male ANOLE mating with my strongest green female a few times.
I tried to seperate them----arrangement didnt work--- cr@p.!


IS IT CRUEL TO NOT HATCH THE EGGS?(meaning not incubating them)

my mother wont let me keep them---- she says I have to sell them.
but they would be MY BABIES.

I couldn’t sell them to people that probably wont take care of them!! not in the way I do mine anyways.
I dont care what my mother says. I cant stop Cisero from developing or laying eggs.......but I guess:( I can prevent babies---

but is that cruel?

If you are intentionally keeping a male and female together knowing that they will breed then I think you have a moral obligation to the eggs safety and well being just as much as to your animals. Now if it’s a one time accidental thing of course you can freeze the eggs to kill them and then throw them away. That would be my opinnion on it.

well idont know about by u, but the petstores near me will take anything small.so if they will, hatch the eggs and then just give em to a petstore.but just so u know, most of the time anole eggs dont hatch!

yeh, well mabey she wont lay many eggs. I want to keep them. I certainly wouldn’t trust any petstores around where I live---the conditions are more cruel then putting them into a boiling hot pot of water

We’ll see what happens.
I am currently working on trying to build a huge tank split into 5 sections
( because I have 5 anoles)---they needed to be separated anyway.

Its just the combination of who should be with who was the problem in the first place.

2 males
3 females

Biggest male--was sick and scarred pretty badly---but he picks on the smallest(male)

small male--stopped from eating by big male.

Smallest female harassed by smallest male.

Middle sized female harrassed and force mated by the big male.

Large female (brown anole) harrasses everyone! lol

large and small male cant be together.
Large male and large brown female cant be together.
large male and medium female--will mate and stress eachother.
smallest male and smallest female cant be together---chance of breeding too.
smallest male and medium female/OR large brown female--NOT GOOD.


smallest female & medium femalewell that works(they arnt hostile 2 eachothr

I have ONE 20 gallon--all green anoles in here right now.
ONE 10 gallon(brown female in this one---because she violently attacked my other anoles)
and ONE 33.8 gallon (beardie is in this one)


I THINK MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO SEPERATE THEM ALL INTO THEIR OWN ENVIROMENTS.

I would like to build my beardie a bigger envir. soon anyway.


what do you think?!

i was gonna say your BD will out grow that soon enough and you can then split that in hlaf, put 2 in there, split the one they are in now, put 2 in there, and keep the one in the 10 in there.
