Hey guys im new to the forums any ways i was on craigslist and i found a Asian water monitor for 25 dollars and reason was cheep was cosmetic reasons so i went 20 drive to get him and wen i got im i notice alot of things wrong
first hes missing 5 toes on his left hind foot 1 end of a toe on his right and little nicks in the scales and a abscess or possible scale rot on his front left leg and he has what looks like a scratch or cataract on his right eye and hes got to be under 9 months old hes like 16 inches so i felt sorry for him so i purchased him i brought him home and soaked him and notices alot of shed coming loose and i found that exposed toe bones we showing after the dirt cleared off at that point i think the monitor lost his toes to bad sheds and they fell off ad i cleared the muscle tissue up and my aunt whos a herp vet looked and said that the previous owner must of kept the monitor is some time of fertilizer like bedding and the nicks were from chicken wire she gave me neosporien and clean it real good and i kept him in new paper bedding till it healed now im getting him to eat cuz i no hes in pain but was i stupid to rescue him?
