You may not be giving it any vitamin and calcium. Get
herptivite as a muti-vitamin powder and JurassiCal as a calcium pwoder. Dust the food 2 times a week for adults, every other day for babys (decrease with age), and 3-4 times a week for pregnant anoles.

Hey, I had sick anoles once too. Do you have proper lighting for them (ie the reptile lights that contain UVA and UVB light?) If you dont the anoles will develop metabolic bone disease which will deform them and kill them. If you do have these just keep feeding them and watering them. Also if possible put some gatorade in a syringe and hand feed it to the lizard. It contains electrolytes which will replace lost fluids.
Good luck

Anoles.. are very hard to care for and shouldnt be a beginner pet. Ok.. water and food.. what are you feeding? meal worms arent a good source of protein. Crickets are ok if their gut loaded (cerals greens). Try catching some wild bugs and hand feeding if its not eating on its on hand water it too...I dont mist mine can cause mold and upper respitaroy infections which will kill them. Good luck and let me know how hes doing.
