Yo all,
Tried a thread on a UK forum for this, but got no response.
I know you yanks are keener on using them as livefood so i am kinda hoping some of you could help me out with a bit of knowledge.
I have a definate male, and female. The male is doing his utmost to try and get in with he, but she just keeps jumping awy from him when he tries.
I am wondering how you breed them? is there any specific season? brumation or anything im not doing?
Iv only had them together for about 1-2months but jsut cant find any info out, lol
ANY info you have on anolis carolinensis breeding will be so helpful.
I know they can be pretty prolific, iv just yet to see the results!

In my experience,anoles are super easy to breed.I wouldn' keep a pair in anything less than a densly planted 20 gallon high.The 65 gallon reptariums are perfect for them and you set them outdoors in the nice weather.They need UVB lights and a high quality UVA source to bask under and provide ambient light.I would use an incandescent Sylvania plant growing bulb found at lowes for $7 or less,depending on wattage.Keep them about 75F during the day with an 85-90F basking spot and mist them fo drinking water at least every few days.Do so heavily.They will breed when mature and will lay eggs that hatch in about a month in the substrate.Make sure you are giving the female plenty of calcium,b/c they quickly deplete themselves,once they start laying.This basic information is appropriate for most common anole species.I have experience with several types and A.garmani are very impressive lizards IMO.
