Help! Lizard might be slowly suffocating!

[AHBD]

Isn't Larry a wild lizard that you caught? I know she's a fence lizard/swift from when you first posted here. You thought she was male but males have a really blue belly and females have just a tiny bit of blue.

Can you post a full pic of her enclosure ? And yes, you need uvb for this sun loving lizard. Like our beardies , Larry can get very lethargic + sick without proper uvb. Ask your dad to get the Reptisun t5 10.0 long tube or the Arcadia D3 12%. Without a proper set up it would be unfair to keep her captive.

Hello,

Definitely let us know how she is doing.
I too, would like to see her tank setup just to be sure her lighting is all correct, as AHBD suggested, it is very important for her health.

Yeah, she has a LOT of color on her, even her throat. I will get a uvb next time I get paid.

She’s doing great! I got her to eat a little bit yesterday and she had a bm this morning. Her right eye is really watery though, like theres tears coming out of one side of her eye. She seems like she can breathe a lot better!

poor larry happy to hear of the improvements in breathin !

 

[AHBD]

Glad to hear she's doing a little better, we're all rooting for Larry !

Her home looks pretty good ! Maybe you can add another climbing branch, and it's probably best to put the heat lamp on top of the screen even if you have to get a higher watt bulb.

Hello,

That's great she is doing so well & eating! It seems
that some do have watery eyes after eating, but not
sure why. At least she seems to be able to breathe
better now. I hope she continues to do better.
