Re: Getting a poorly Nile monitor
Here a few pics of him when we got him home, he is very thin as you can see and completely lifeless. He only responds slightly to being touched.

Re: Getting a poorly Nile monitor
Hi, can you show a few photos of the current enclosure and give details of the conditions?
If you can offer the monitor proper support I think there`s a chance it may pull through, but I wouldn`t bet on it (very, very sad)..

Re: Getting a poorly Nile monitor
I will get some pics of the viv he is going in tomorrow. At the moment he is in a viv at my dads that is bare with no substrate and sterile. This is only because of his treatment he is receiving as he is being given fluids. If he does pull through once he can move by himself he will be going into a viv. If he looks like he will get better we may will try and get a 8ft viv with deep substrate for him ready but for the next few days he will probably need medical care.
I forgot to post this pic of him before, it shows how unresponsive he is

Re: Getting a poorly Nile monitor
Oh that poor guy  I'm so glad to hear you didn't pay money for him that previous owner deserves nothing! I hope you can nurse him back to good health and i hope you find the time to post updates along the way i would love to see that he gets better. and thank you for being a kind human being and taking time out of your life to help this lizard, god knows what would of happened if he went to someone who couldn't cater for his needs.

Re: Getting a poorly Nile monitor
Hi, that`s great to hear, they`re really tough animals so perhaps no serious damage has been done and he/she will start to flourish.
Good on you and your father for at least trying to help even though it initially seemed pretty hopeless.
Once the monitor starts eating what are you planning to offer it?

Re: Getting a poorly Nile monitor
The fact that its mobile now and flicking the tongue is a huge step in the right direction. I really hope he continues to improve for you.

Re: Getting a poorly Nile monitor
It is said that a reptile isn't dead until it is warm and dead. Best of luck with him.
