Green Anole (Possibly) and several questions

[The Hedgehog]

Yeah, if you go to florida or places like that, the green anoles are just everywhere basking in the sun. The rule for reptiles like green anoles, beardies, etc..is 12 hours of day time, 12 hours of night time. The difference is, anole's are like 7 bucks..and they need pretty expensive set ups.

Yes, they are all over Florida, however you will see 20x more Brown anoles than Greens. Aslo, my tank setup was probably the cheapest setup I own. I have a red heat lamp, along with a regular lamp, some branches, fake plants, and a big piece of wood to climb on. They get sprayed once a day with water, and they have been fine the last year without a problem. They are all healthy and doing great. Just thought I'd point that out. (Oh and all wild caught and very tame).

Unfortunately Anoles are the bottom of the reptile world, and yet they make great pets for observing and learning about. I've even had my 2 greens drop a few eggs, however getting them to hatch without an incubator is hard. LOL

The one the OP posted, if it can eat, and get stronger, then I'd say keep it, otherwise you might have to put it down. I had a small female that got "Beat up" by the larger female in my tank, and she broke the small females lower jaw. She couldn't eat, and I had to put her down. It was pretty sad.
