Yes he eats the soft food fine for a lizard that can't use his tongue to its full extent. Pretty frustrated at this point but I'll be going to the reptile specialist this week. Next expo, the seller I got him from is getting an ear full that's for sure!
Today I fed him two small roaches and it seemed as though they were getting caught in his throat and he couldn't push them down. I almost had to get one out myself because he started to gag. It's pretty disheartening to say the least.
Alright so the vet said everything was fine and probably just due to being stressed from a new set up. Granted the referred me to another vet that "...would know more about exotic animals..." so they were no help. Luckily got them to wave the exam fee! So far there seems to be slow progress in...
Okay so after everything you guys have told me and my observations of the little guy since I got him Sunday I'd have to say he has a respiratory infection definitively. I'm going to try to bump up his vet visit to today and get some antibiotics for him asap. Big thanks Josh and N8bub for your...
I appreciate all the input! I'll try to bump up the temps and get pics up tomorrow after work and try to get one of his mouth as well, wish me luck on that one though! Ill let ya know what happens :)
He seemed a little dehydrated when I got him home but I let him soak for awhile and he drinks fine. So far I haven't seen him eat live prey (crickets or dubia roaches) but I left some crickets in the cage and lost track of them of course lol. I did however get him to eat a little bit of raw egg...
I just got a young gold tegu from the expo on Sunday and he never flicks his tongue out. He'll try to but it never has come out of his mouth. Taking him to the vet Friday to get him checked out but does anyone on here have experience with this?
