Brown Anole Lizard

Question
My son's brown Anole has a pretty sizeable lump under it's chin and it looks infected and oozing. What Can I do for now (tonight) to help it so that I can get it to a vet first thing tomorrow? Please help!

Answer
Hello Andrea,

That sounds very painful!
Do you have any antibiotic ointment to put on that until you can see a vet about that?  If you have loose substrate, take that out & put in paper towels so it stays clean right now.
Do you leave crickets in the tank with him overnight?  If so, that is most likely the cause of the initial reason leading to infection.
Can you show a picture of that for me?
