    Baby sulcata has bump

    No I haven’t...I’ve looked him all over...it’s just the one on his eye. It seemed like there was a little piece of skin over the corner of his eye yesterday, but I left it alone thinking he’d shed it or get it off on its own. This morning it was about the same..then this evening was when I...

    youre right. I really thought I was doing the right thing by taking him to see a vet, but I’m just glad I know better now so it won’t happen again if he can pull through this. I’ve been keeping a close eye on him. It started about 4 days after he came home. I was keeping his ambient temp at 75...
