Green Female Anole

Question
We have a green female anole with two very large blister or cyst - like growths on the back of her neck. She still drinks water and I can hand feed her crickets and even a worm now and again, but need to know if I can treat the blister/cysts with something like Hydrogen Peroxide to dry them up.

Answer
HI Debi,
I would not use peroxide as it will destroy good tissue along with the blisters.  You can try some Neosporin on them to see if that helps but if they are abscesses, then a vet will need to check them out.  To find a vet that can treat reptiles:
