Don't stress...it is something treatable...you just need to stay on top of it. Keeping reptiles can be difficult, or easy once you get the hang of it. many of us have made mistakes, it's what you do with it that counts. The first reptile I owned was a sav, back in '90, before Internet and much info. I bought it because it was cool, took the pet shop advice and fed it it cat food with no supplements at all, no uv light, and a heat rock. I'm surprised that thing even survived at all. I fought bad sheds and dehydration for years. Someone else ended up taking it when I moved. When I learned more about reptiles, I realized how madly that poor monitor was kept. It sort of inspired me to keep up on the care of my animals as much as I reasonably can, and to share that info with others. Now this thread that you started can share info with other people and you can eventually share what you have learned. It's just how we all help each other out.

[QUOTE="laurarfl, post: 95310, member: 401"] Don't stress...it is something treatable...you just need to stay on top of it.
