A particularly friendly male Green Anole was outside earlier as I moved some of my carrots growing in planters before the rain. He sat watching me as I put some of the planter boxes inches from his perch. So I opened some sardines to help him out and attract flies and poured out a few drops of oil a few inches from him. When I backed away he walked over, inspected it, then rubbed his head in it. I think he knew it would attract flies and did that to get them to land right on his nose! LOL! He`s a smart one! It`s warm today in Louisiana and I always enjoy seeing the lizards and watching them hunt and fight. They help out in my in-ground garden each year by catching a lot of the pests. There are also toads and tree frogs in my vegetable patch too and I see dozens of baby Anoles each year when they hatch. I leave some cardboard boxes out there for them to hide in.

This was a perfect tutorial! It was short, but provided many details. I haven't kept anoles im about 10 years, but am thinking About getting a few. So this video was a great refresher, and will help assist me in setting up the perfect enclosure, thank you!! 🦎

Those look like dwarf white isopods. They spread like crazy because they are parthenogenetic, meaning they don't need a mate to reproduce. Nice build. I might try not using a drainage layer in my next enclosure. All of mine do now, but I've seen a few people recently who say their enclosures are fine without them. This has me wanting Anoles again lol. I had them as a kid, but have since been into Tokays, Cresties, Monitors and Tegus. Keep the vids coming!

I just got this terrarium and this video is perfect cause it’s for my anole.

The side eye she gives at 2:12 😂❤ so cute. Beautiful enclosure

question from a novice, I notice you don't have a designated basking light/area? Is it because of the LED?

I sadly dont have a verticle tank, mine is horizontal but also kinda tall (basic 10 gallon from petco) but my 2 female brown anoles are happy and healthy

Would I need a heat lamp if I my room isnt normally hot, also where do I place the uvb light.

Does it matter what tree that branch comes from or can it be most any branch I can find ?

Good 👏

Great tutorial. Do you lose about the typical 30% of uvb with the top screen on this terrarium?

would this size be ok for two anoles? Love the setup and the final look. She's a cute little lady

Time for the update

beautiful no heat ? needed for them ?🦎

I have the humidity the heat the lightbulbs the climbing things plants food water misting all that in my green anole doesn’t turn green it’s always brown am I doing something wrong?

I was hoping to find a video like this I really wanna do a bio for my 2 lizards

Do your anoles breed?

Did he end up turning green?

Update?

Every one laughs at me cause i built a 275 gal bioactive tank for my 6 anoles
