I caught a cute little anole last month at my job cleaning lodges, and the teeny little thing was half frozen. I had warmed up the day before and I figured she must've came out of hibernation and then sought out the lodge for warmth when it got cold again. I couldn't put her outside and I couldn't leave her in the room of a paying customer so I took her home with me, naming her Lonnie Anderson 
.
I had anole lizards growing up and knew their diet and though it took too long for me to get her supplies and I almost lost her I finally managed to get her in a suitable tank. The biggest issue was finding food for her. I FINALLY found a bait shop that had crickets, and have been feeding them a mixture of lettuce, apple slices, and potatos. Is that enough? Any other suggestions to make their diet healthier for my lizard?
Also I provided them with cotton balls to drink from and they immediately began laying. I left the cotton balls in their container for about 3 days and have now put them in another in front of a space heater until I can get a heat pad. They're damp, but I wonder maybe if I waited too long to take them out of the container? I'm thinking bird eggs when they get too cool don't hatch. Not sure if these guys got too cool or not.
Anyway thanks for any helpful advice you can provide its been a long time since I've owned a reptile.
By eggs I meant cricket eggs, the crickets started laying in their water cotton balls
