Brown and green anoles

Question
I just resently bought a brown anole and put it in my tank with two green anoles. The two green anoles are bigger. Is it a bad idea to keep 1 brown and 2 green anoles in the same tank?


Answer
Hello Sean, how big is this tank for 3 anoles? And how much bigger are the green ones compared to the brown? If its slightly then it shouldn't be a problem. You will need also at least 30 gallons for those 3 and more if you can. If they have a lot of space it shouldn't be a problem. If you see the green anoles threatening or chasing (head bobbing, throating etc) to the brown then remove the brown into a separate tank. Because if they dont like him they can kill him.
Let me know some more info and I can get back to you with some better answers. Good luck
