    What is this blue spot on my Tegu's head

    My Johnny has the same blue spot. And is most likely a WC even though the person I got her from said that she was CB. I’m waiting for her to shed to see if it comes off.

    Brumation?

    So Johnny went to the reptile vet yesterday. She doesn't believe that its brumation. She gave me 2 diff kinds of meds for deworming. She also gave Johnny a long soak and sub-q fluids since shes a little on the dehydrated side, which I knew. The vet also gave me a bag of reptile critical care...

    Brumation?

    Thanks Walter! I picked him up from the Hamburg show and the supposed 'breeder' did look on the bit on the shifty side. But I saw my poor kids temporary living conditions and decided he needed a better life. Isn't that always how that happens? :) So we're going on week 3. About a week ago he...
