    Are they actually biting the plants or licking them?

    It is very normal for them to lick water droplets off plants (that's how they drink), but they do not eat plants real or plastic.

    i dont know what to do they are trashing the place. They pull the leaf off and then try to eat it! i have no water on the leaf when they do start trying to eat them. Do they need something to munch on or what?

    I have never heard of an Anole doing this. I have lots of live plants in my enclosures and none of the plants have ever been attacked.

    Maybe someone else can help, sorry...

    Are they just eating one type of your plants? If they are just taken out the kind of plants that they are eating.

    its a 75 gallon tank the temp is 85. I only have one type of plant and its ive if thats how you spell it but thats it and they just have at it ! i have rock at the bottom and sticks for them to sleep and rest on some up in the top and some on the bottom the plants are on the back and right of the tank just so they can change color but they pull them off the vine and try to eat them!
