Hes in his mid 20s and the pet store is family owned. Hes been working with reptiles since he was a kid. They wouldnt do the mineral oil enema for me because they said if anything went wrong they wouldnt want to be held responsible and could get into trouble. I dont feel comfortable doing it myself either They said vasaline is in a lot of animal laxatives. If she doesnt get better in a week they told me to bring her back up there and they would see what they can do but I dont know.

One of the guys said he had recently had an adult Tegu as a rescue and that it was impacted. The tegu didnt make it but he said the impaction was about the size of a brick. Feeling my tegu he said it didnt seem like the impaction was very large, but of course that doesnt neccesarily mean it will pass.
