Wild injured anole....any advice?

It could just be the pictures, but it also seems like he might have a lot of retained skin or something. Instead of just misting, put a humid hide with either wet sphagnum moss or paper towels inside and let him hang out in there for awhile.

Can you get a closeup of the eyes? If both are closed and there is no obvious swelling my guess would be that it's stress and not an injury. I just find it unlikely that he'd get two pretty much invisible eye injuries.

Thanks. He does have what looks like some retained shed on his tail.

And I think you are right about the closed eye thing. After googling I found a few other references to anoles with closed eyes due to illness. Weird thing is he wanders around like that! Not a very good survival strategy.
