Q: Cuban Knight Anole Incubation?
Posted By:

Joseph Jenkins

I recently aquired a Cuban Knight Anole egg. I've been searching the web, but I haven't been ablae to Find much info.  I know that incubation temp. for green anoles is around 85 degrees F, and time is about 35 to 40 days. Is this the same with knight anoles?

What is the incubation temperature and time for Cuban Knight Anoles?

i found this:
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/anole/message/2893
this guy's answer is 26C or 78.8F during the day and slightly lower at nite. it also says that produces hatch in around 2 months. i saw on a few other sites that incubation takes between 2 and 3 months, so if you did lower temps (75-76 daytime) you'd produce more girls and it would take a little longer. one thing i remember from my friend keeping exotic anoles is that they are sensitive to the difference between day and nite temps, so when i saw this i figured this guy might know his stuff. the article is pretty good all around.
remember that these guys made the adjustment to Fla pretty easily, so it's an adaptive species. shouldn't be to hard to get an egg to hatch. what's hard is establishing those babies.
