An Anole Shedding Its Skin Too Often?

vvv Jan 12, 2004 09:24 PM

It looks like my green anole begins to shed its skin as soon as it finish to shed previous. Is it a skin disorder, low humidity, or my imagination?

Thank you

Mnn, that doesen't sound very healthy. Perhaps an hypervitaminosis A (a to much of vit. A). This will give these type of problems. Btw it's very toxic to overdose this type of vitamine. What kind of nutrients do you give your anoles an/or feed? Can you tell uss how may the dosage is of vit. A in it?

Thanks,

I have two green anoles. I feed them with crickets, which are in turn fed by Fluker's Orange Cubes. Supposedly, the cubes should contain vitamins, including vitamin A, but I couldn't find any details. I don't give vitamins to the anoles themselves.

Thanks for responding
