If you don't want the Anole anymore, then yes, Put it in the freezer as Trevor so delicatly put it..
However, if you feel that it might be able to make it, take it to a vet.. If there's nothing else that can be done, they'll put it down properly... The choice is ultimatly yours..

We aren't vets and we aren't there. All we can do is speculate as to how bad the injuries are. Either take it to a vet, post some pics for us to see or show it to a "reptile person" near you and go from there. I wouldn't give you any other advice knowing as little about the situation as I do.
Best of luck with your little guy though.

For your consideration:

Ice crystal's actually form in the organs before death occurs. I personally havent felt my liver freeze but i think it would be very unpleasant. THere are more humane ways to euthanatize your animals.

Yes, maybe you are wrong.
I guess the licensed vet doesn't know more than the seventeen year old who can't punctuate :\

Hmmm... I don't think the insult was needed at the end. He admitted that MAYBE he was wrong, didn't he????

Help
Alright, enough of the arguing. We should be trying to help out the person with the injured anole remember!
I don't think you should freeze it. I'm not going to give any advice on how you should kill it because I have never dealt with a problem like that before. All I do know is that you shouldn't freeze it.

Relax dude.
From your post I got: "Um, actually it is a humane way"...that's not an opinion, it's an expression of fact. It's not my fault I pointed out that I needed the oxygen machine after reading your post.

Hardly the truth, but I do make a point of not arguing with scientific fact.
I really don't think I'm a complete joke, I'm a person with feelings and ideas too. I'm as entitled to my opinion as are each and every one of you.
