I'm a new user to this forum so please understand that idk how to use this. :blush:
Recently I bought a "Paraguayan red tegu" but it was probably just a regular red and white tegu with a scheme to get more money, but that's not the point. I bought the young tegu (about 4 months old) about a month ago, but he was kept at the pet shop until about a week ago because when i got the cage in from Southland reptiles the glass door was broken so I had it repaired. I brought the little guy home on December 20, and he died on Christmas Eve. The lizard always did seem like he was a little off, his right leg was a little bit gimpy and looked deformed, I was gonna name him Nemo, haha, but he also always seemed to be way smaller than he should have been but the people at the pet shop said oh he's fine and this and that but he obviously wasn't. Anywho, the tegu was just walking around and laid down to sleep like he normally did but he never woke up, and he was acting normal until that point. Later that day when me and the people in the pet shop examined him he seemed to be "severely impacted" I didn't even know what they were talking about because they just showed me the inside of his mouth, but it looked how it always did and I told them that it even looked that way in the shop. But I would like to know if any of you guys could tell me what you think happened and if it was my fault or not. I would really appreciate it, thank you
