my anoles broken mouth...help!

kimkerstetter Jul 07, 2005 10:59 AM

could an anole have a broken jaw?
he wants to eat, but can not open his mouth wide enough...
he has been trying some baby food, but i doubt that's enough to keep him from starving.

Try smaller prey. If he can eat somthing the jaw should heal over time but there is a chance that he still won't be able to open his mouth completely. Only a vet can say for sure.

he actually looks alittle better after a few days of that.
i've tried smaller prey, he's not ready yet, but he's been trying.
