Anolis Sagrei (now Norops Sagrei)

Anolis Sagrei (now re-classified as Norops Sagrei) -- Brown Anole
Date	Notes
10 August 1998	Probably hatched in the early AM (from an egg deposited on a plant delivered two weeks earlier to the lounge in the Government & Business Department of the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County).  Discovered by a co-worker at 10AM, she spent the rest of the day in make-shift cages (first a paper-clip tray topped by a paper cup, later at throughly rinsed and hole-punched water bottle).  By evening she had been transferred to my spare 10-gallon aquarium.  Initial attempt to feed he peach baby food met with some resistance.
11-12 August 1998	Researched Brown Anoles.  Tatiana was less reluctant when I tried to place the baby food on her snout, however I doubted she was getting enough to eat.
13 August 1998	Talked staff of Jack's Aquarium & Pets into selecting tiny crickets from their Small Cricket bin.  Tatiana sprang immediately - that first cricket never had a chance
14 August 1998	Ate a second cricket.
16 August 1998	Ate another cricket today.  Tatiana's body is visibly more fleshed-out than when she was found.  Still very active and eager for crickets.  Added UV light to her Vivarium.
22 August 1998	Tatiana had eaten little since the 16th.  Tried again in the morning to force feed her some baby food.  She seemed full of energy.  However, when I returned from work, Tatiana had died.  It is likely that she was exposed to numerous pesticides and fertilizers prior to hatching and it's probably a miracle she hatched and lized as long as she did.
