Question
i got 5 dimond back anoles  and i got them a bigger tank. the tank they were in i seen a lil anole.can i put the baby back in the colony? do they need there mother or will the baby get eatin? and what do i feed them.i looked online cant find any anwsers.plzz help dont want the baby to die :(

Answer
 The baby does not need his mother.  He needs the same lighting and UVB source as his parents.  He will need small food,  I would get phoenix worms as they are high calcium and so easy for hatchlings to eat.  I never put such a tiny baby in with adults as he will be breakfast.
