My male green anole, Leon, is over 5 years old. He'll reach 6 soon. I heard that the life expectancy of green anoles is around 6 years, although some get older. I think he's reaching the end of his life. He even looks old, because he doesn't eat anything in these days, he's slowly losing all of his weight, and he's not agile anymore. He's a little over 8 in. long, and he's a big male! I also noticed quite a few infections around his jaws. Could he be dying because of these, or is this common when anoles reach old age? If it's a disease, I can't do anything with it like taking it to the vet, because my family dislike spending $45 just for checking out a little lizard. Leon's among the first reptile I ever had, and I first got him when I was in 6th grade. He was quite small back then, but grew faster than ever. I'll be really sad if he's gone, which he will be soon...
