I recently found this adult male Cuban brown anole (Anolis sagrei) in Miami, FL.
He isn’t in particularly good shape by the looks of it! Can anyone shed any light on what might have happened?

I am most interested in understanding how different species of lizards live together. Specifically, I research the ecological mechanisms that facilitate coexistence and the subsequent evolutionary consequences. I am a post-doc in the Losos Lab at Washington University in St. Louis.

Not that it matters to the problem, but this is an A.cristatellus.
It could be an infected hemipenis perhaps. Or just a topical infection or reaction to some parasite.
