HOW TO SET UP A GREEN ANOLE ENCLOSURE *STEP BY STEP* 

ITS FUNNY I HAVE BEEN WAY MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE THUMBNAIL COMING OUT THEN THE VIDEO LOL ...I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO !!!!

This is where all of our green anoles are going. (Florida fan)

For Anoles, it's height over area. They are mid height tropical forest tree dwellers. So a tank that is 3 times taller than it is wide is the best. Also, buy some large leafed tropical plants. Not plastic. Stick a grow light above for the plants, a UVB light for the Anole and a heater bulb for night. Add branches and moss and now you've got a tropical rainforest in a glass box. Mist it as often as you can to keep the humidity around 70+% Real plants alone make it look better than a tropical fish aquarium. It's a Zen experience when your Anole crawls out of the undergrowth, knows you are there, looks you in the eye and says "Where's dinner?" They are as intelligent as cats.

I've heard in captivity they can live up to 7 years :) your little ones look super healthy and a beautiful bright green. I know they're happy in their home!

Nice set up!!👍👍 fortunately for me, my back porch is a permanently naturalistic environment for them😆😀

I'm a Blue-tongue Skink guy myself but dang the Green Anole has to be one of the most underrated herps in the hobby. Thanks for making this video.

My favorite lizard species!

I've had Anoles as pets since I was in middle school. They are honestly the funnest herps I've ever had the fortune of having as pets and I currently have 3 now. Fin (dominant male) Jörmug (submissive male) and Helga (female). They get along really nicely once the hierarchy was established. They are very hardy reptiles and the need for a UVB bulb can be bypassed if you keep them near a sunny window. I always like to mimc their natural environment since I've always caught mine wild and considering sunlight is not available year round, they enjoy the moderate sunlight and are absolutely smitten with their basking stone whenever it's cloudy. Theyve taken to relaxing on it after they eat and it actually helps them relax faster when I hold them as my warm hands mimic the stone. If you do choose a stone just make sure it is one that does not get too hot to avoid burns. I have one specifically meant for smaller lizards.

Pretty decent tank not bad, though I would definitely reccomend adding a heat bulb since they need a basking spot of 90°F, as well as separating them in the near future since it looks like they're both males and may potentially fight and injure each other, the one that was eating a cricket was already showing its dorsal crest which only appears when they start displaying against females, for mating and to males for dominance. Cool video though

I like the setup for the green anoles 🦎🦎

I had heard that the average lifespan for these guys is 6 to 7 years, not sure if that's accurate

Love the video ! You are great at showing step by step. Easy to follow. I love the Anoles they are so cute.

I love it because the leaves and the sticks they look cool!!!

Love these little critters…they get in my house all the time…I also have roaches on top of roaches which came in when we used wood to heat our house.. they live under tree bark…, I’d have to buy them, because they’re too fast to catch…great video…

I just found some anoles out side by my pool they are fun great set up

That is a really nice enclosure. I have always wanted an anole. Never had one.

WOW! this is amazing, simple setup! I will deffently do somthing like this for mine!

This is awesome! I have these guys all over my yard!!

GREAT energy my man! Super helpful!!!

This is helpful I'm getting an anole soon

I love your shows 💖❤

Another great video Justin! This came out awesome!!

Great video, love anoles

Lol lucky you, living in phinex .I live in NY, Brooklyn .I have a pair.fron the day I bring my friends home they rarely lived in their inclosure they live in my bedroom window spend their lives running up and down the curtains, hunting in the plants along window .

Great set up! But in my wat i would put green Crickets in their so they can chase them.

how do you make this substrate?

I have mine in a much smaller tank but there is so much climbing and hides they are always green, just make sure you keep a bunch of humidity and have a lot of sticks, and maybe even (I did this) I have an under ground-ish hide, I took a clear glasses case, cut it in half, and basically worked with it till I was satisfied. Just a few tips I'm not an expert.

That is a nice tank! But I prefer you should use real plants. If u do end up using real plants, you should use bramilliads.they are nice plants that are very exotic and they keep water inside of them. And if you do end up changing the tank I prefer you should use an 18x18.and use a drainage layer, all you need for a drainage layer is hydro balls and mesh and also they LOVE soldier fly larvae so those are good food. AWSOME video!

Great video, I have seen one anoles lizard for the first time beautiful animal.

Really cool and I actually have a anole ecosystem my self by the way I love this idea

Awesome Video 👍 Have a Magical Weekend ⚫🎀⚫❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Hello, I saw you in today chat and subscribed to your channel. I look forward to seeing your videos. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.

Thank you so much for this I might get one but it’s so cold up in Canada lol

All of my Anoles I saved from my cat. I realized that they were slightly injured, so I took them in so they could heal and I keep them.

thank you for your reply I thought I was hallucinating hew 🤔😁😷🤑👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

LOL ty for the info I have been doing research so I can have an anole😝

You sound exactly like Todd Snider!

Awesome Video! Those Anoles are really cool, At my local pet store there super cheap like $5 or something. #ROADTO2K

This helped bc I'm gettin a anole super soon

The tank should be vertical in a 10 gallon

Amazing video man keep it up

I have a leopard gecko and I just upgraded her tank from a 10 gallon to a 40 and I’m going to buy some anoles to live in the 10 gallon because the 10 gallon already has a heating pad on it and the 40 came with a dome so I’m going to buy a 5% uvb bulb make a hot side and a cold side plus I already use ecoearth for my Leo so I won’t need to buy substrate

I've kept many different species of anoles throughout my whole 23yrs yet I just picked up a two Biehamnien Anoles which I currently own 8 anoles...The two Biehamniens,three Cuban Knight anoles and just three small green anoles💯I currently comment under my reptile channel but I've been uploading gaming vids on this channal

I'm just wondering, How many gallons is this tank. [Great video]

anoles are VERY underappreciated pet lizards

I loved your set up. I caught a green anole yesterday from my backyard. I put it in a 10 gallon tank. My setup is mostly like yours. But my anole is not as green as yours. It is more like brown-ish and green at night. Also I do not know if it is eating or not. I gave it some live crickets and mealworms in the tank. Any suggestions on how to take care of my new pet?

For smaller lizard 🦎 like that shouldn’t they have smaller Crickets

im looking in to getting a green anole but i need to know the gear and setup so i dont kill them by accident

I've had my green anoles for a little over 6 months hatched them from eggs and they don't really use their water dish I use a spray bottle to mist the inside of the enclosure where I have Vines and fake leaves for them to climb on and they usually just drink the water droplets off the top of the leaves and off the little rocks that I have but I have not seen them drink from their water dish but that's not to say they don't use their water dish I just haven't seen them drink from it

Is it alright if i have a tall tank with lots of climbing space?

Do you have to change the dirt and more importantly can you ball park the electrical cost of this terrarium?

Anoles are very common in fl so this is pretty easy for me lol

Bruh my green anole has been alive for five right now

Thanks for this vid cause me and my friend just found a DOUBLE TAILED ANOLE and we’re trying to make a home for it. Also r u sure they can’t eat super Worms? My friend fed his lizards super worms and they really liked them

I’m not sure that you will see this but I live in north GA , it is very cold right now . I work in a bank and I found an Anole in the room with the safe deposit boxes . He was very lethargic and had apparently been there for Atleast 2 months . I picked him up and brought him home because I think it it’s too cold for him to find a safe place to hibernate ( not to mention I’ve seen Skanks but never in anole in North Georgia). I got a tank and I put live plants in a bunch of things for him to jump on and water I got crickets and mealworms. I sprayed the tank as soon as I got it set up and he was very thirsty and dehydrated he drank for a long time. I’ve had them in the tank for three days but he hasn’t eaten yet does he just need to settle in before he eats? Or Maybe he is too scared being in a cage that he won’t eat until he dies? I imagine he hasn’t eaten in at least 2 to 3 months because we do not have any bugs in our bank for him to eat. Any suggestions would be helpful I just I’m trying to help him until it’s warm enough for me to set him free but I don’t want him to die in the meantime.

Run into any issues with parasites? I’ve seen a few things about how reptiles are prone to parasites but I really haven’t seen a video showing the “best” way to rid them of parasites if you think they may have been into contact. I’ve heard a few people say don’t feed them crickets but then I’ve also read that crickets are a main part of their diet. Any advice from your experience with any of this would be greatly appreciated.

My anoles are brown, they were green when i got them but never stayed, they been brown for 2 months.....I have proper care for them, dish, medium crickets, hangingvines, mister, moss, correct temp and humidity, they're able to climb also

Great video!! Tank looks great!!! Love anoles!! You should get a long tail lizard they are so tame!!

Hey do you think if I use a big enough enclosure I can keep 2 green anole with a red eye crocodile skink? They have a very similar habitats more worried about them attacking each other

Is a mulch any good the are a lot in my pile of it at my house and I caught one to keep

What type of bulbs do you use for your anoles. Like do you use uvb or any of them

I just got a green anime and he is happy

What size of crickets were those?

What type of dirt did you use?

What lightning and heat do anoles need?

Whatever you do DO NOT touch a green anole when it’s brown, that means it’s cranky and does NOT want to be touched!

hi there quick question, where did you get the two anoles at?

I know this is really weird, but I keep seeing a Green anole in my backyard window. Its’s been coming for Months now. What should I do?

I am looking to get one and im wondering if the crickets make noise?

would it be ok if i put wood or sicks from outside

How are your Anole Lizards doing

do anoles need hides? or just greenery?

Thank you from all the parents who ended up with one after a carnival game because we didn't actually think our kids could throw.... she will be well cared for.

How many gallons was the tank.

You have to spray their habitat because they are a rain forest animal and they need about 60 to 80% humidity

How long do you leave your heat lamp and uvb bulb on for in the day

Can you keep green anoles with a baby pacman frog?

mines been brown for 2 days help

Can I put a green and bahaman anole together??

where do you find the crickets

How are they doing ? I have a bioactive establishing atm. Can't decide between these guys for green tree frogs lol

Have they ever fought?

Could an anole survive at 50% humidity?

What kind of lighting do these little guys need?

I just caught a anole

Hi! What are the dimesions of the terrarium

What kind of light do they need

You need a humidifier

Today I moved my 2 anoles into a 20gsl yall tank, bought a brick of cocanut fibers and put in a bromiliad, 5 pieces of driftwood, 6 crickets and within 30 minutes they were mating like crazy. I videotaped it and he had bit her neck to hold her still. I think they were do happy they celebrated! How long before she lays an egg now?

5 y

I’m watching this so I can get green anoles to feed to my Pac-Man frog

anolE

Not a good idea for big water bowl, the crickets will drown, also anoles may eat some bark trying to swallow a cricket.

dude SO many of them live outside my house. i see so so many baby’s crawling around.

You got 2 males. Not a good way to start

2 adjustments for a safe enclosure. DO NOT PUT 2 MALES TOGETHER LIKE THIS! they will fight. Secondly, DONT PUT CRICKETS INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE WITH THE ANOLE UNLESS ITS FEEDING TIME AND YOU CAN GUARANTEE THEY WILL EAT THEM.

You shouldn't have two males together btw

You obviously haven't read or done any research whatsoever If you had you'd know very well that they drink from droplets off a leaf, and not from a water pot.

accidentally got superworms instead of mealworms. *yikes*

Repent now and trust Jesus Christ our Lord and savior please ❤️🥺
