Hi Anna, The academy award performance that you call it, is propably a serious problem for this little anolie.If looking at your picture I think I can se a kinked tail.This is one of many signs of improper calcium,phosphorus and vitamin D3 balance.Sometimes lack of or to much of other vitamins like A can also cause this.In hatchlings the most obvious sign is that the poor animal seizure if stressed, like from you touching it.The reasoon for this can be that the animales (parents) have not been given any supplement, or given to little.The last often result in week hatchlings at the end of the seasoon when the female have spent all her resorses to eggs earlier in the seasoon.
