so i believe dan (aka coorslight) named our new lil addition dickies.. (sad i dont know right?) he shed with us for the first time today! i grabbed the camera and snapped a few for u!! enjoy! and as you guys can see he does only have 3 toes on his one foot.. we got him like that.. it doesnt seem to bother him, hes very active!
Cool pics I noticed recently that one of my hatchlings has the same issue with one of his front feet. Maybe it is relatively common
thank you! the toe thing im not sure about.. but i personally think its cute! thats got to be my favorite thing about him!!
I just have a quick question about his shed. He shed almost his entire body but there is still a bit of skin on his dewlap that hasn't come off. Should we just leave him be and let him shed it or is there something we can do to help it come off. I know with toes and tails you have to be really concerned about them falling off because of a bad shed but I'm not sure about what to do with his dewlap. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would just make sure the humidity in his enclosure is high enough and watch him. Anoles stress so easily when being handled I would not try to help the shed unless it was absolutely necessary
Ya, i agree with what wingnut said, just make sure the humidity is kept high, what i do is provide a half coconut and they tend to rub off any left over shed onto that. Handling anoles should be done only as a last resort. wingnut, also (completely off topic) but could you please sort our your sig, the maximum number or lines this site allows is 3 lines, thanks :wink:
