UVB/Basking Light for Brown Anole?

I've been looking into adopting a brown anole from my local pet store. I've been researching everything I'd need to properly care for one. I was gifted a lamp I could potentially use but I'm a little confused on if this would be a good fit for a brown anole or not. It says UVB/UVA but it also says it can be used for basking??
I was just wondering if anyone here has any more information on if this would be a good option or not.

Egg!

Girly’s got egg number two enroute! Here’s hoping it’s fertile, the last one was not.

Can you keep anolis allisoni alone or do they need to be in a pair?

The enclosure is 3 feet long and tall, 45cm wide.

Can I keep a single one or do they need to be in a pair?

I know if you keep green anoles in pairs the males will constantly breed and the female will be laying eggs.

I don’t want unwanted babies

My male anole is always brown💔

He turns green every so often. I thought my tank was good if not perfect? I spray three times a day every four hours and turn the light off at 12 am. He eats crickets and sometimes worms. He stopped eating worms idk why. He drinks his water after eating the crickets, maybe he’s tired of crickets? Or maybe it’s too crowded. If I’m missing something or doing too much of something please lmk! Anything helps!!

does my male green anole look underfed?

i recently got my first anole, and have been doing tons of research to make sure he's healthy and thrives as long as possible since this is my first reptile. i read something about how if you can see their ribs and tail bone at the base of their tail then it means they're under weight? i've had this lil guy for a little less than a week now and i have been feeding him 1-2 mealworms or crickets, or whatever stray bug i find around the house daily (as long as it doesn't sting or is poisonous) which he always happily takes, but im worried about his weight, should i be feeding him more than 1-2 bugs a day or just wait until he gains more weight from what i've already been feeding him?
any beginner tips for keeping anoles are also welcome, as i've been struggling to find good information on their husbandry needs. it seems they're uncommon for good experienced reptile keepers since i've mostly been seeing inexperienced kids caring for them with less than the absolute bare minimum. i know they're considered a "beginner friendly reptile" but i don't want that to mean they need less care and attention (health and husbandry wise) than any other kind of pet, i want him to live as long and happily as possible.

I need advice

This is Caine (photo 2) and Abel (photo 1). My grandmpa brought them up from Florida a few months ago. My problem is that I'll be moving soon and dont have anyway to bring them. I'll have an opertunity to bring them back to Florida. But my main fear is that they've been too domesticated/injured to be reintroduced. What so you guys think I should do?

Is this auto mister going to stress my anole?

Just put a monsoon nano auto mister in my tank. Now I’m worried the sudden activation along with the pressure may stress my lizard out. Am I worried for nothing? Did I waste my money and should go back to manually spraying it? 😭
