Sounds like a Respiratory Infection, which could be fatal, take the anole to a vet.

Answer 3

This sound like a respiratory infection, which could be fatal if untreated.  I agree with Stephanie that she needs to see a vet.

Respiratory infections are usually due to improper husbandry.  I would suggest after you get her help, that you check the temperatures and humidity in her habitat.

If you are using a strip or peel & stick round meters, they can be inaccurate up to 20 degrees.  Also, they measure ambient air temps., not the actual surface temp. where the light and heater are.  I would suggest that you invest in a good digital probe thermometer or an Infrared temperature gun so that you can measure the temperatures on the surfaces where she dwells.  You'll need a good hygrometer to measure the humidity.

If you don’t already know of a qualified exotics/reptile vet in your area, google: “Herpetological Society” -or-

I hope she's better soon, and I hope this has been helpful.

She has mucus coming out (boogers) go to the store where you bought her, and ask what medication to give her, as she is sick, and if you want to help her chances, I'd go sooner as oppose to later, not to scare you if I did sorry!
