Will a Green Anole refuse food before shedding?

CollardGuy Sep 15, 2004 07:27 PM

I've been worrying for a couple days about my female not wanting any kind of food. Including flies. (which I'm told have a convincing appeal to many lizards, including Anoles.) But she just shed, and I'm wondering if that could have been the problem.

Here's a pic of my other anole, Christi...

My female doesn't stop eating before shedding - it takes her about 2 seconds to shed her whole body, and she does it frequently. She *does* stop eating before she's about the lay an egg, though. The eggs are duds - she's alone in her tank.
