Question
I caught a very small anole, he is 2 inches long at the most. How fast do they grow? I am feeding him fruit flies right now. He is doing well, looks and acts healthy. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Answer
Hello Renee,
Can you post a picture for me so I can see him?  He sure is tiny!  LOL
Anoles grow fairly fast, but usually take around a year or so to reach full size.  They get to around 8 or so inches in length.  
Great, keep up with the fruit flies.  As he grows you can feed tiny crickets & mealworms.  Make sure that they are not larger than the space between the eyes, or he can get impacted.
