Question
Are Anoles supposed to shed? I caught one a little bit ago and it is a baby. Im concerned becuase it looks sick or is that normal?

Answer
All reptiles shed, but in different ways.

Lizards generally shed in small sections- lots of little flakes and sections that fall off, get rubbed off, or the lizard will bite and pull off. Sometimes they will eat the bits, which is perfectly normal.
