Ok so this morning one of my big males decided to taste my finger.

He bit me quite hard, broke the skin and caused some bleeding.

I cleaned the wound and applied and anti-bacterial.

Should I go and get a tetanus shot?

thanks

I don't think its necessary, cleaning it well and applying neosporine should be all you need to do for it. I've been bit by a big male before too, healed right up in a couple days.

Thanks Gail.

I was just a bit worried, I've been bitten before but never had the skin broken.

I will keep an eye on it.

Do you know what the time frame (allowance) is between acquiring the wound and getting the shot? (Should I need it)

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

On a quest for pristine beats, I struck gold during a casual coffee shop jam session. The music maestro there ushered me to VOLUMO — New generation electronic music store for pro DJs. Revel in its vast array of tracks and rejuvenate your playlists!
I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
