Yeah Jimmy, that has me worried as well. I fed anoles to both my everglades, both bairdi's and my spec. kings when they were younger. That was before I got a good supply of frozen and I was being cheap. It finally occured to me, after several feedings, that wild, live anoles may not be the best thing for them. The bairdi in question doesn't seem to be losing an abnormal amount of body weight though, as would be expected with a paracitic infection. There is always the possibility that he could have picked something up that's affecting his appetite though. It was definitely a poor decicsion on my part. I sent you an email. I'll keep you all posted.
