How do you take care of a anole?

With $300. The lizard itself has a low cost, but its care is difficult an expensive. Bedding is $10 and should be changed weekly. A water dish is about $10. A 29 gallon tank (recommended size) is about $70. So is the Mercury vapor UVB bulb. The lamp that can handle the bulb will run $20. Plants, hides, and other decor is about $30. Crickets and other feeders will run $10 every other week. The bulb has to be changed yearly even if it still produces light. You'll need a quality digital thermometer and hygrometer ($25) as well as an automatic mister for humidity. You get the point. Don't buy one on impulse.
