Questionhello. first off how do you tell green anole lizard genders best? I think I have a older boy and a younger girl but should i put them together? Plus my "boy" lizard has an eye fungus/disease (so i was told by another expert?) where one of his eyes is really swollen and reddish inside so i don't want "him" to give it to "her."currently they are in separate cages. He wont eat a lot though, only a little bit of apple sauce. thanks

AnswerMale green anoles have longer heads, and two small bulges in their tale right at the base. Fully mature males can also erect a short crest of flesh along their spine when they display.
Your male anole needs to see a vet with reptile experience, promptly. If you cannot afford it, then give him immediately to a reptile rescue group so that he can receive veterinary treatment. Treatment is not optional when you own a pet, it is morally and legally required. It doesn't matter if it's $1500 macaw, a $5 anole, or a free puppy.
Applesauce isn't an appropriate food for anoles.
Definitely keep them separated.
