SIZE: Males to 7 inches (18 cm), females to 5 inches (13 cm). 

TEMPERAMENT: With a lot of patience, these lizards become quite tame. Males are territorial -- adequate space, hiding and basking sites must be provided if groups with multiple males are kept. 

HARDINESS: Extremely hardy when properly maintained. Prone to dehydration. 

SEXING: Males tend to be larger and have larger dewlaps. Females usually retain a grayish to white mid-dorsal stripe. Large males will have a hemipenal bulge. 

FOOD: Small to medium size crickets, mealworms, waxworms, butterworms and various other insects twice weekly with calcium and once a week with vitamins. 

HOUSING: A minimum of 10 gallon (38 liter) vivarium for a pair. Potting soil or orchid bark can be used as substrate. Landscape with branches, rocks, driftwood, cork bark slabs, green moss and sturdy live or artificial plants. 

WATER: Due to their arboreal nature, anoles are more inclined to drink droplets of water. A drip system or frequent daily mistings are a must. A saucer with water can also be provided. 

TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY: Day 73F-88F (23C-31C) gradient. Night 65F-72F (18C-22C). Moderate to high humidity can be maintained through frequent mistings and damp green moss. 

LIGHTING: A fluorescent full spectrum/UV radiation reptile light is required for long term maintenance of anoles. 

HEATING: Incandescent light bulbs with a reflector should be situated over selected basking sites. No night time heat is needed unless extremely cold. 

GENERAL NOTES: Most small anole species may be maintained the same as green anoles.
