He is definatley going to the vet, I already have a qualified one because of the regular check ups on all my bearded dragons and leopard geckos.
My vet is very knowlegable in reptiles so he'll give me the low down.
(: He isn't sweet/tame because they socilized him -he is too weak to fight. That doesn't mean he won't adore you.)
They told me he wasnt sweet. and he wasnt at first (he was really nasty). after only a few hours he's a tame puppy... he just needed some love.
Im sure everything I did scared him half to death.. moving his tank, taking him out for a bath, changing his enclosure and scenery. nail clipping and skin removal.. I can imagine what he's going through. But I believe it's for the best. I wouldnt be able to live with myself and call myself a human being if i had left him there and didnt do what I did..

(: Do not over force liquids at this point, offer small amounts several times per day. )
I have been giving him 2 syringes of pedialyte. i gave him 2 last night and one this morning and he'll get one tonight.. do you think thats enough? should i give more and break it up more
throughout the day?
I dont have an untrasonic fogger, but i have a human humidifier. i will use that.
I have an incandescent bulb for uva and a florescent for uvb on his tank now.
The hot rock they gave me with him barely worked anyhow, so it has a nice comfortable place in the garbage. (I dont use them anyhow)I have a heating pad under the tank for nighttime warmth.
I have food in all my reptiles tanks 24-7 i have been changing it every 6 hours. I have enough veggies and fruit to feed an army.. I have 7 bearded dragons and their eating machines...

: ^5 for saving this guys life
And back at all of you for helping out....
thanks alot...
phil
