I am worried about my beardie. About a month ago, if not more, probably more, I sprayed raid on the outside of my house. Today I was sitting outside with little Pope Ivan and he decided to walk up to the wall, where I sprayed it with raid, and licked it. So when I realized, I immediately ran him inside and stuck a spatula in his mouth and ran his mouth under some water. He spit most of it out like a hose, which was somewhat funny. And then he got really pissed with me. Which is understandable, he hates the rubber spatula in his mouth. I would too if I was him. But I figured it was the safest way to get his mouth open because my vet told me to administer his medicine that way back when he had necrosis in his tail. But now he seems okay. He's not acting weird at all or sick by any means. I just want to know if he will be okay. I have a real ant problem, which is why I sprayed raid around my house borders. But I think I rinsed his mouth out really well... So I'm just wondering if anyone knows if he will be okay? It was just a small lick. It wasn't like he was licking it forever. Just one small lick like he does with everything new he sees. Or me, when I smell different. When I sprayed raid, it was a really really long time ago. Like I can hardly remember when I did it. At least a month or two and there has been much rain here since. I am no ***** by any means, sitting here feeding my lizard raid or something like you may think. Nor do I want him to die AT ALL. It was just a huge mistake on a day when I was just trying to hang out outside with my beardie in the sun and didn't think before he decided to lick the wall. I have removed him from the situation, now he's just sitting in my lap. But please just tell me... Do you guys think he will be okay? I am guessing if there was any raid left it was just a small trace amount. And after washing his mouth out with water, I am hoping he will not be effected.
