- Housing/Caging: Keeping several adults in a 20-gallon tank is perfectly acceptable, although do no use a screened top as it will allow too much humidity to escape the cage. The taller the cage, the better. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these inexpensive lizards require equally inexpensive husbandry. They demand the same heat, humidity, food, and substrate quality as considerably more expensive lizards. Use a sand and coco husk mixture (30/70) as a substrate, with a layer of sphagnum moss or leaves on the surface (this helps retain humidity within the soil). A substrate depth of 2" should suffice, as anoles are not burrowing lizards. Provide several hide spots, preferably cork bark, across the cage floor. A medium-sized water dish should always be available.
- Feeding: Their diet should be primarily comprised of crickets dusted with a quality calcium supplement such as Miner-all. Mealworms and waxworms can also be offered, although they're usually not eaten with as much gusto.
