My adult female A. prasina last ate 2 months ago. I have been offering her large male anoles every week and she just doesn't seem to take them. She still exhibits hunting behavior and has a healthy girth, but she is getting thinner. She was paired with a male for several weeks, but i never observed copulation, and she is too thin to be gravid. She still drinks water readily. Does anyone have any advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou,

Check the mouth for saliva, if she is fighting a cold she won't eat, also if she has intestinal parasites. If no sign of illness are found I would treat with panacure and metrondazole.why not see a vet?

Thanks for the thoughts, she was treated of parasites in a series that started about a month ago and ended about 2 weeks ago. Im hoping her system is just in a "shock" from the medication and will recover normal activity. Any evidence that a Full spectrum bulb may help?

I agree as above but also offer smaller anoles. A large anole can be a match for even a big prasina and the snake knows it (I once lost a prasina this way).
