my brown anole has a large lump at the base of his tail what could this be and what can be done about it?

Question

he is about 6-7 months old we have 3 females and this one male. he has been lethagic and eating or moving very little for 2 days. the lumps are very dominate right where his tail and his body meet. we live in a small town where ther are no vets dealing with exoctic animals so we have no one to take him to. please if you have any ideas or advice let us know.

Answer 1

On the underside? Near the vent? Without seeing I have no clue. And no offense to you, the first thing I thought was "Dummy, that's his junk." ;)

Cage temps? Full spectrum lighting? Calcium + D3 supplement? Eating at all? Are your girls happy and active or is everyone being sluggish? Oh so many factors, I'm not an expert in their care and maintenance, but they're all over my yard. Wanna buy some? *smirk*

Edited to add.....
Yo, Dude, read the post, there's no vet in the town that deals with things like this, and really, being from an area that's over run with brown anoles (which aren't native to florida by the way) if you were to take one to the vet here, they'd laugh you out of the office most likely.

Answer 2

take the poor thing to a vet!
