Thank you again Thorrshamri!!! As soon as it wakes up in the morning I will try your solution. I don't know why I didn't think of olive oil. I bet that will work great!!!

 

[nadinelovesgeckos]

I am out of olive oil, will "Crisco Natural Blend" be okay? The only ingrediants are Canola, Sunflower, and Soybean oils.
For the record....."Dawn" dish soap is a liquid hand dishwashing soap that is used to remove oil from birds and wildlife that get caught in oil spills.

Upon a bit more cleaning, I have discovered my visitor is a Green Anole

 

[thorrshamri]

I think there will be no problems with that oil, how is the anole now?

 

[nadinelovesgeckos]

It is doing good. I have gotten most of the paint off of it, just one foot that is being stubborn and the bottoms of feet. (It still can't climb very well) I am trying not to stress it too bad so hopefully I can get the rest off in the morning and release it. After getting more paint off I have discovered it is a green anole though. lol It is basking on a tree branch next to a plant right now debating if it wants to eat or not.

That's really great, I was feeling very pessimistic for that green anole when you first explained the situation. I am so glad things worked in a fine way!

Looks much better now thanks to all your help!! I will try to post a pic in the morning.

Don't know whether this would help: Any chance you might have a rough rock, piece of cholla wood, or a piece of corkback that he could use to "rough up" against?

Guess I would not release him if he can't climb normally. He might need to be the second member of your new rescue facility :biggrin:.

There are several rough rocks and fake rough branches in the enclosure it is in now.

Green anole ate today and got some more paint removed. It is ready for release when they finish painting on Thursday!

Wonderful news! :cheer:
What's the next critter now? :biggrin:

How are the soles of his feet and his climbing?
