Bobby hill came through!

[Bubblz Calhoun]

Could I get some advice, if y'all's baby tegu was dragging his back legs, what would your first step be in trying to recover the health of the tegu, I was thinking some calcium but what is a good supplement because all I know is bobby hills instructions but I'm done with that lying sack of (poop)
I really want to help him out and give him a good home because alot of people would just kill it, he is our only reptile and my wife already loves him, and I didn't want that to happen because he won't eat and if he dies ...OH BOY!!! We named him "beetle juice" because that's my wife and daughters favorite movie and they are both black and white

A Vet appointment to find out what's really going on with it (there are none here) and start your own thread.

Extremes, b&w, bird, dog or what ever they can very well be just that, late clutch or not. As if mother nature does everything on schedule and according to plan. Or anyone has even a clue exactly how many clutches he produces and was expecting. Seriously,.. give it some time before you jump to conclusions and rain on other peoples parade.

Until proven other wise let them be happy with what they finally have and been waiting for.

Definitely do calcium and cod liver oil and make sure uvb is on him...this will take care of possible mbd. Our beardie almost near deaths door made full recovery from this. I also used a syringe ( without needle) to get electrolytes into her daily...also put drops of electrolyte in misting bottle since they absorb through skin as well...if there's no improvement then could be some kind of genetic defect or other problem....hope it gets better.I have done much rescue work from reptiles to amphibians to bats, birds, etc....and the 'abnormal ' ones were always dear to my heart.had a 3-legged cat for 16yrs...r.i.p."spot " <3

Natural sun. Lol

TeguBlake- is he on the other side of a window from the sun or outside in a glass tank?

in his cage, lol he gets sun 10 to 1 in his cage

The glass from the cage prevent the UV rays from the sun getting through to the tegu so he's not getting any "natural sun" at all if he's in his tank. It has to b unfiltered sunlight to actually get the UV rays.

 

[TeguBlake]

Oh well, she likes it

 

[james.w]

How do you know she likes it? Is the tank outside or inside when she is getting "natural sun"

 

[TeguBuzz]

If the tank is outside, I'd stop doing that. A glass tank outdoors in sunlight is like an oven and cooks whatever is inside.

 

[TeguBlake]

No it's inside, she's not ready for that

 

[james.w]

Then she is getting zero benefit from the sun.

 

[TeguBuzz]

Then she is getting zero benefit from the sun.

Best way to put it.

Even if there is no benefit from the sun in terms of UV, it is still providing some warmth. Just give the guy a break

Really guys? I know uv can't travel trough the cage just cool that she is in the natural light? I have the right lighting and heat I'm not stupid. You guys need to stop be littleing people.

 

[james.w]

I was trying to help as you should be able to tell from my questions. I am not belittling anyone.

 

[TeguBuzz]

Wasn't belittling anyone, I was just saying that he/she isn't benefiting from it. If you thought that was belittling then I'd hate to see what your reaction would be had you been belittled for real.

 

[Rhetoric]

I don't think anyone is trying to be rude.
One downside to communicating online is the lack of emotion. These members have all been here for a while and from what I've seen, offer the best advice they can. They just want to see your tegu be the best it can be.
