i currently have 3 lizards two green anoles and 1 brown. My other brown anole just died and now none of them are eating. Both my green ones are staying brown and they arnt as active. These are my first lizards and I don't know what to do so any help is great
 
Tell more about how they are housed, etc so we can help you. What sort of cage/container are they in? What is their heat source? What are you feeding them and how often? Do they have fresh water available? I hope they will do better shortly, but to help we need more info.
We all start somewhere, it might be helpful for you to spend a few hours looking through lizard care sheets and the lizard discussion forums here.
 
They are in a 15-20 gallon tank i have two live plants and a frake tree theres a log thats under their heating lamp. I have a heater on the bottom as well. I have been feeding them crickets and mealworms and they seemed to like the mealworms more untill a couple days ago and now they won't eat anything. I usaly feed them every morning. I have two little shallow dishes in there with water and I mist there cage every chance I get.
 
Allie, it sounds like you have a nice setup for them. I have a couple ideas: First, Henry is right, they need UV. You can get powder that has vitamin D and calcium in it, that might be good to do as a supplement but just for a few days until the UV light is installed and going.
Also, find a way to gauge your temps. An overhead light and an undertank heat source may be overdoing it, now that spring/summer is coming; I live in Texas also and it is already getting warm.
Finally, double check for contamination in the way of bug sprays and etc. that you might have used and that might have accidentally gotten into the tank.
Good luck and keep us posted.
 
So do you think i should just be using the overhead light and turn off the heating pad for now? An then get the UV light
