...or a chigger or a mite! When I first got my lizard, I noticed a scale that looked bigger and slightly lighter than the rest close to his tail. When i took him to the vet because he had not eaten in the one month that i had him, he said not to worry about parasites or his skin or anything, just to get him to eat.
Now, a week later, I'm giving him vitamins and it looks like he's eaten a worm or two
The other day he ate some orange too! He seems much better, and so does that DOT on his scale. I moved it with a paperclip and it has legs. It's grey. It's much much bigger, it must have been dormant before. I have a follow up appointment with the vet, but the guy (who I trust a lot) at the reptile store that I go to recommended a really good reptile vet. I'm going to try to get an appointment to go there this friday since I have the day off from work.
Since I disturbed this damned whatever it is, do you think it's ok to wait until Friday? Can it reproduce if there's just one? Will it travel up to his face??!! I'm so worried.
I really want to check out this other vet instead....not that mine is not good, it's just that I was concerned about it since I saw it, and my vet could've cared less about it. Maybe I'm just a worried mommy
None of my other pets have had parasites, then again, none of them have been wild caught.
