Introduction and inquiry
greetings everyone
My name is Todd and Eco is my Savannah Monitor
I am moderately experienced with caring for reptiles but have a broad range of experience with many exotic animals
Eco is our shop mascot. We rescued him about 2yrs ago from an owner that was just trying to offload him and clearly should not have owned a monitor to begin with.
He gets LOTS of attention and is well cared for.
As with my experience with other exotics, I try to foster his natural instincts as well as socialization and truly strive to give him a well rounded spectrum of experience.
I am almost finished with a new habitat and look forward to posting pics
I have one concern that I am hoping to get help with
I recently went to Eco in his cage, and to my horror, half of his tail had broken off!
I felt extremely guilty because we just went through a mad rush of business and I had not been as attentive to him as normal.
My guess was that he had become dehydrated. Is this correct?
I would greatly appreciate any insight so that I can avoid any future misshaps
With great respect
Todd
