Where to get anoles and Qs on feeding to the hatchlings?

What addiction?!
So just in case I have to try anoles for those stubborn hatchlings, where do you buy them that small? The pet stores around here all have big ones, like 3-6 inches in length. I know a 10-12 inch hatchling could not handle a lizard that big. How do you feed them to the snake, dead or alive? How long do you do this before switching to f/t pinkies? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)
 
Why not just get a big one, euthanise it, freeze it, and then simply scent the pinks for the stubborn feeders? It'd last a lot longer and would be much cheaper if they take it.
 
Thats a good idea. I've heard a lot of people have done it that way and it worked out good for them. But, if it didn't work and I needed the baby anoles I have no clue where to find them.


 
Probably any small local lizard would do..
I know it's not exactly what you are asking, but I did the "dead anole" scented bit and had about 50% success on nonfeeders. I wouldn't try much harder than scenting though personally..

Though I also tried scenting with other things.. baby quail, cat food, tuna etc. Only thing I used that got anyone STARTED was the anole scented.
