New skinny tegu

[got10]

I'm sorry for your loss. The right thing for them to do would to be comp you for the full price of the animal and replace it with the healthy one . Not some discount on another animal.

Thanks you. I knew going into buying him that he was very sick. He wasn't for sale but i talked to them and got him for $100 I thought I could save him since they where not putting the time into saving him but i was wrong. Not there fault since I knew what I was getting into

Thank you I did sanitize the cage & the hides and stuff in watered down bleach and then let it bake in the sun for a couple hours + I baked the ecoearth in the over at 350* for 45 minutes. Does this sound ok? I really hope so I don't want my new little red tegu getting sick :-(

That sounds good to me and when putting in the basking light put it over something like your black hide there or something so the lizard can get up clouse to it to bask but something light enough that the lizard wont get smushed or traped if he dug under it sence non of your stuff is sitting directly on the glass.good luck with your new baby

I'm sorry and it's good that you tried. He was in really rough shape and likely already had organ damage at that point, in all reality. pretty sad. I hope you have a better beginning with your next tegu!! Share with us when you get him!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and all the info you's have been a great help. I picked up my new baby today Charmander #2 lol He looks so much more healthier then the last one and has already ate and drank. He's a lot different then the last one he's walking all over his cage and licking everything. He weighs 67 grams and the sick one that died weighed only 47 grams and was the same length. Here's some pictures of my new red tegu (Charmander#2)

I'm sorry to here about charmander, but at least they spent their last day in the care of a good, attentive owner. charmander #2 looks healthy, sounds alert, and looks like they'll grow up to be a beautiful red! already charmander #2's color is awesome! especially his feet.
