My lizard isnt an anole but part of her tail recently turned purple and fell right off! More of it is doing the same thing now. Ive taken her to the vet who didnt know what the problem was. Any suggestions as to what is causing it or what I can do about it? Any help would be great.

i way have a sulution. you know how the tail falls off when someone or something grabs it tail. maybe that will help if you pull on its tail a little.

A form of dry gangrene *might* be what you're talking about. Here's the link on Melissa Kaplan's site:
