Hello all,
Recently I got Killua two weeks ago and he’s already settled in eating like a pig and has gone through his first shed already!!
With all of that aside, after more handling and socializing time, I’ve noticed a few weird spots (One on his back and one on his eye)
The back “bump” if you would call it that seems to not bother him but didn’t come off with his shed. I’ve read that some tegus are just born with weird spots that they grow with. As for the eye, which is my biggest concern- It almost looks scratched? This must’ve happened within the time i got home to now- unless it’s developed and gotten worse. He was shedding on this eye so i couldn’t see until the shed came off. He is bulging his eyes exactly like a bearded dragon would in shed (I own two) except i can’t find anything on if that’s normal.
Basking-110-115 (on a block)
Ambient Hot- 90-87
Ambient cool- 80-76
Substrate- 30% organic top soil, 20%play sand 50% coco fiber (Has a humid hide with sphagnum moss in it)
Humidity between 60-80%. I spray once a day and have a repti humidifier that turns on/off every 2 hours.
UVB- 36” Reptisun 10.0 tube w/ reflective hood
Basking bulb- Philips 100w Heat flood light (with dimmable lamp)
I planned on taking him to the vet on his one month anyways. I talked with my vet and planned a check up regardless the condition he was in- but i would still like to hear from experienced tegu owners (-: Thank you!!!!!!
Below I posted pics of his back, eye, and normal eye.
