My pet store: Petacular Exotics does not open for 1 1/2 hours. I tried sugar on the male's penis. That is what the vet did for my mom's dog once before.

Sadly, it looks like it may be too late for little curls. He was the feistiest of our little anoles. He is not stiff, but I am not sure if he is alive.

And my oldest son, whom is most attached to these guys (like mom) is gone this week.

But I would really like to have a viable little egg. Shorty laid another egg yesterday and it dried up. Help!

TIA,

Tracy

Well, in answer to my own question, they first told me that that can happen if the lizard gets overheated. I have two females that are fine, so..... I was told that if they get a piece of dirt stuck that they lizards do that to try and remove it, or the infection.

In larger lizards, it will fall off, and the lizard will survive, but not in these little guys.

At the suggestion of the pet store, I put curls in a baggie in my freezer so that he will be preserved until my oldest son comes home this Saturday.

And I ended up getting our other two lizards a medium sized Fresh air habitat, along with a real pothos plant and new fake plant, vines and branches.

I don't know where you are getting this information. Hopefully, not from a vet. What you describe sounds like a prolapse. A prolapse in when a part of the body (usually either the intestines or penis) protrudes from the animal's body -- sort of like a hernia. It can't be mitigated and is invariably fatal.
