Ok it seems no matter what I do Drago just keeps getting worse! I have only had him for 17 days. He is 6" long and I dont know how old, I got him from petco. At first in the pet store he was the biggest and most active, glass danceing and everything, then once I got him home all he would do is sleep all day. I know it is not normal for babies to sleep during the day so I did some research and it looks like he is dehydrated. So I have been mysting hime and he seems to perk up whenever he gets water. He was only eating about 1 cricket about every 3 or 4 days. I got a dimmer for my basking light to bring the temp down to try and help with his dehydration, It was 108, now it is 105. He just seems to be getting worse!! The last time he ate a cricket was 4 days ago, he ate 4. Spaying him and giving him a bath doesnt perk him up anymore. He is EXTREAMLY THIN. I have started to feed him baby food to get something in his body, that worked ok yesterday but today he wont lick it.
Ok now for all my stats,
20gl long fish tank
24" reptisun 10.0
hidding log
tile floor
greens eveyday
temps are 105 basking
97 hot side
82 cool side
repcal when he eats
herptivite on his greens
On top of all this he is shedding and know when he licks there is a clicking sound which I know is bad. I dont get paid for 2 weeks so I cant take him to the vet and I think the trip would kill him anyway. There are only 2 vets that take reptiles but they take all exotic pets so I dont know how much they know about beardies.
I have a friend how took his snake to get sexed at one of them and they sexed it wrong. The only other one is at the spca and I cant get through because the phone is always busy.
Please help!
