Thank-you for the reply Karrie!
There was some white in it, it just seperated in the water. I just got him Thursday October 24th from these people that had no idea what they were doing. When I seen him I thought he was dead but he had very little movement so I wanted to take him and try to help him. He's roughly 14in long.. but I can double check that tomorrow when he's awake. They had him in a tiny 20gal aquarium with just a heat light- will check the brand and update in the morning- I purchased a 40 gallon tank and a Reptisun 10.0 26watt florescent bulb for uvb, and the heat bulb they had seems to keep his tank warm.
Since I acquired him unexpectedly and between pay cheques, I wasn't exactly prepared to buy him everything he needs and I feel so bad but I definitely feel he is better off in my care rather than the people that clearly didn't care about his wellbeing (keeping him uncovered in his tank in a freezing car for at least 30 mins. Who knows how long...& Feeding him just lettuce!! Poor boy
)
I haven't witnessed him drink from his water bowl, but I make sure to put some water on his nose everyday until he laps up a few drops at least, and I also put some water on his greens that I have been hand feeding him. I
bathe him in warm water every other day, and try to get him to drink then aswel. I did purchase the dried crickets in a container, but will be buying him some live ones on Friday.
I also have to buy a new thermometer, I will be purchasing a infrared temp gun. For now I have one digital thermometer that I have been switching from the warmer side of the tank to the cooler side, reads the same temps every time I move them and leave them there for a few hours.
Warm side-sits at about 91f
Basking spot- 105f
Cooler end- 88f
I turn his lights on at 9am off at 9pm.
At night the lowest his tank gets is 75f.
He usually sits right under his Baskin spot where it says 91.
I'm sorry if I missed anything. He's been very very lethargic but has been eating and moving more everyday since being here.
I spoke with a reptile rescue and they told me they think he is almost in a brumation state after being in the cold car.
His bones seem to be straight and he is strong when he wants to move. I worry about him every minute, and have been reading everything I can about bearded dragons .. which I don't think is helping lol it could either be brumation or something really bad
I am going to find a herp vet near me and do a fecal test at the least asap.
He has had 3 bowel movements since being here and every one has had the white urate. I'm sorry this is so much lol but there is so many things about him that are worrying me!
