New green anole not eating or moving after 2 weeks. Is she sick?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Reptile | Anole | Female | unspayed | 0.1 lbs

Hello, I bought a female green anole 1-2 weeks ago, and she isn't doing very well. We house her in a 18"x18"x24" Tall ExoTerra terrarium. There are lots of plants, branches, and hiding spots. Within a coupe of days of getting her, she just stopped moving and laid on the bottom of the terrarium. We live in MA, and we use a reptical supplement. She also hasn't eaten by herself, even after giving her a little more than a week to adjust to her new habitat.

Thanks for reaching out about Poseidon. Check and correct husbandry as environmental temperatures. Try offering water and a meat flavored Gerbers baby food via a syringe. If can not get to eat, a veterinary visit is needed. Good luck.
