She's dead Anonymous
So, I decide to check up on my little green anole I got for my birthday before I go to bed, and she isn't moving, guess what! Died, from what looks like fucking starvation. I don't get it, it's like she would eat anything I gave her, crickets, anole food, nothing. She just kept getting thinner and thinner, only lasted a little over a month.

She had a big cage with all the right things in it, proper temperature and humidity levels. It's like she just refused to eat.

Anyway, can /an/ cheer me up or atleast tell me where I fucked up?

Pic related, but not mine. She's very bony and brown, and even black in some spots now...

I've had that happen to two cats, and in both cases it was something completely different. There seem to be a lot of different problems that can prevent an animal from picking up nutrients from food, even if it eats regularly.

Probably had internal bruising by rough handling at the pet store.

The anoles that run around where I live seem to be a lot of them so maybe they like being in groups...

have you ruled out parasites or impaction?

I've kept several anoles before, and they all lived many years. Mine were all wild-caught (by me!). None of them would take dead food--the food always had to be moving. They would chow down on the live food without hesitation. I fed them flies, mealworms, and small crickets. They swallow food whole, so adult crickets would be too big unless you had a really monstrous anole.

That's possible, but the bruise looking marks didn't show up until she started getting really thin.

Parasites could be possible I suppose, only thing I could notice though is two black spots right behind each eye.

I had the same problem with Anole's. They just stop eating. I thought it was a temperature issue. I tried the live crickets and the dead fruit fly food things. Dunno what to say
