I got an adult male green anole about a year, year and a half ago. He did fine. I got a female because I wanted to give mating a try, and because I have a large enough cage to take on a few more, she was stressed out in the beginning, but eventually they both got along, and were not stressing each other out.
Two days ago I happened to catch the 2 little buggers chasing each other around the cage and eventually the male caught the female, and I assume mated.
Yesterday, I put in a couple of crickets in the cage, and they both were not all that interested.
This morning my male anole is on the ground, and acting very weird, he would not move then every so often walk around for a bit attempting to push his nose into the substrate, I thought he was trying to get at a few crickets or something; but his eyes have been closed the entire time.
He got the black spots (postorbital) a few hours ago so I moved him to a smaller cage incase he has something the female can catch, he moves around with his eyes closed, every 5 minutes or so. I was able to feed him a little of the banana, and some water. He is changing his colors still depending on if he is near the light or not.
I am wondering if it is something as serious as he has lived his life or if he just ate too much/over did it earlier.

Thats werid. Did the problem occur right after mating? If it did he could have caught somthing from the female.Once I saw one of my anole mating, but the femae never laid eggs >< It was werid.

2 days after mating and seemingly overnight.
He died about an hour ago.
I don't think that lizards can give each other STDs :-p
And lizards can mate and "miss" the female so she cannot store the sperm for later. It is why they mate a few times, just to make sure.

You'er right never thought bout him "missing" during mating. lol
but I do think maybe she had some kind of bactiera that she passed him.
