Does my anole look healthy?

I bought this little guy yesterday, and I’m curious if any of you anole pros out there could tell me if he looks good and healthy.

Compared to mine he looks a little thin....but mine may be a little on the chubby side.Very handsome though. Does he have a name yet?

He looks okay, but I would fatten him up a bit so his hip bones arn’t sticking out. My philosophy is that you should never see the outline of bones on any reptiles.

yeah the little 1 i bought from the pet store looked thinner than that 1 does and i have had it for almost 3 weeks now and the hip bones are still showing but not like they was. you could even see this ones toes bones when i get it. so it eats eveyday now and is still far from fat but doing better. but the color on yours is alot brighter green than mine is. good luck and enjoy.

Thank you for the advice i’ve been trying to hand feed him peach baby food, mealworms and today i bought him crickets and coated them in cricket dust. His name is Slyvester. Again thanks for the advice!
