So I came home from work today and Littlefoot My tegu looked like he exploded with shed. But after moving my thermometer I noticed it had some blood on it (which I figured was from his previous meal) but after looking at his back foot I noticed one of his nails was bloody/gone.. I have attached some pics. I plan to go to the vet as soon as possible, but has this happend to anyone else? And how can I prevent it from happening again.
He is in a 6x2x2 enclosure
Basking temp -110 degrees
hot side mid 90s he does burrow however, so it's a little cooler.
Cool side is around 80 degrees
Humidity is struggling to be at 50% ... I have a humidifier in the room which runs 24/7 and I also mist the cage once a day. But it does get low from time to time.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
