We found that page late last night. We are about to switch him from sphagmum moss to bed a best. The moss was all we had available last night to get the humidity up. We soaked him in a solution of shed ease/water. It softened him up and his color came around to a nice green. We are putting neosporin on his tail. Well call vet again tomorow, to see if I can start him on oral antibiotics. It looks like he may lose most of his tail, and most of his fingers. OUr rescued animal total is now at 1 beardie, 1 iguana, 1 adult female ball python (sprung us into breeding), 1 adult male common boa, and now 1 water dragon. I think he will recover nicely. He is a ferocious eater of crickets. May try a pinie or two once the tail gets taken care of.
