So I am beginning to think one of my tegus might have vision issues! Has anyone had any issues with this? If so, was it congenital or aquire from something? I have 2 in the same environmental conditions so I don't think it could possibly be diet/habitat related but maybe viral if aquired?
I've had them since the beginning of June rescued from the everglades less than 2 years old right now.
The one I'm worried about is VERY difficult to bond with and shy. He is not food motivaton or confident enough to come at food if I swing it around to see if he reacts. Any other way to test it? He always tries to hide when I'm around and i can hold him occasionally but he doesn't enjoy it lol.
He is an argentine black and white but who knows if some other type is mixed in out there in the wild. I can't seem to find much research on it either except with some albinos obviously.
He is so skittish it worries me that he doesn't respond with me moving my hand quickly in the air. If any loud noise or physical contact, he always runs away.
I am going to be taking him to away vet soon but it's not going to be easy for anyone he will try to bite, so I just wanted to see if anyone had any other knowledge or suggestions.
I don't care if he is, as long as nothing causing it is harmful.
