Re: Green Anole (Possibly) and several questions
Aha! That just might work!
We're going to get a UVB florescent soon, but the dear thing discovered the dead repti-crickets and chowed down on that and a baby food.
The injury isn't affecting his eating, thankfully.
I did have a small question though, should I get a bulb for him too?

Er, should I get a heat bulb for him too?

Yes. Get the red one. They LOVE to bask in heat and sunlight in general. Higher Temps such as mid 90s is good for them.

I have a glass tank/wire top set up, so what would be some suggestions on retaining humidity? I'll see about a red heat bulb while Im getting the UVB florescent.

Cover part of the top with plastic wrap. Just keep it away from the heat lamp. Mist often.

Re: Green Anole (Possibly) and several questions
So, he now has taken to turning brown under the basking light?
But, he is basking in it.

It all depends on their mood. When they are brown, they are usually stressed from something. Just leave him be for a day or two (with the exception of misting the plants for water for him) and see if he chills out a little bit.
My big guy used to get a little stressed because of the other lizards in the tank. Once he finds his spot he likes to chill, you should see him turn green.

He was sitting in a specific spot on the opposite side of the tank from the heat bulb, so I thought hmm. He was green where we was, but when I turned the heat bulb on he moved over to it and turned brown.
