Hey everyone, this is my first post! I'd just like to say hello to all the people on this site, thanks for making it great! (From what I can tell so far. )
Well, tonight is the fourth night that my Beardie (Sahara) has gone without pooping. She is 2 or 3+ years, in an approximately 60 gallon tank, etc. If you want to see the setup and see Sahara, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOZbJc4TXAA This is a video I made of her and basic information. So this constipation is completely uncharacteristic of her, and so I thought I would play it safe and give her a warm bath, massage, and some applesauce, in case she was impacted... I don't think she is, but I wasn't taking a risk :wink:. I gave her the applesauce off of my finger, and she was only licking it at first, but then she latched onto my finger and drew blood... a lot of it. It didn't hurt and it wasn't a vicious attack, just a soft spot on the finger. I know this is my fault for finger-feeding her (I did make sure my hands were washed, though!) but I just want to know if this one bite can lead to:
a) more aggression for Sahara
b) finger biting whenever I reach into her cage
c) infection... for me and for her.
If it can lead to anything, can you please suggest methods of reversing the damage?
Once again, thanks guys, and it's good to be here!
