    I built a beautiful 75 gallon tank for my male and female for about 200 Dollars.
    First find the dimentions that you want and ask Home Depot or Lowes to cut the glass.

    I thought so too until I learned that in order for a couple anoles to act natural is to provide them with an enclosure about that size. 10 gallons is only enough to not be cruel.

    wow i thought 75 is a good min for a Beardie. i never would have thought of that big of a tank for green anoles. i may have to look into that.

    Wow, that's a big tank lol! midgetmunky, you could maybe spend half the money on making a decent sized tank (or just purchasing one from the petstore, i don't know, whatever is cheapest!) and them maybe splash out on the accessories inside the tank? Maybe a good humidifier? I've never tried them so i don't know what they're like, but i've heard some pretty good comments.
