  1. It sounds like he might have a respiratory infection. And is trying to get air. Does he sleep with him head propped on something or does he lay it all the way down? If he does lay his head all the way down, that is good, if he doesn't that is a sign of something wrong. Has this happened before but for not as long? What are the temps and humidity? What substrate is he on? Was the tank cleaned out of substrate and cleaned when the others died before more were introduced? If not then any remain bacteria and other germs would have remained in the tank and could have caused the symptoms you are dealing with now. You will really need to find a vet that can look at him and tell you what is going on. Call around (pet stores and other vets), someone has to know of a exotic vet. Good luck.


  2. Check the temperatures.  Most lizards do a thing called "gaping".  It is sort of like when a dog pants.  It means the cage is too hot.  Especially since you already lost 3 of them..something is wrong inside the enclosure.  

  3. i usually dont say this, but i did answer your other question, and i am a reptile expert, and i still dont know, but in emergencies like this i advise you take the anole to the vet if you want to save its life!

  4. Nothing that is normal, you could try feeding it, or getting it a friend!!!

    GOOD LUCK!!!!
