Hi my name is Taylor and I just purchased a 4 month old baby sulcata(except to me he still looks like a hatchling cause he still has his egg breaker thing on his beak and he is so small!)
Anyways I got him through Canada post, inno bad, and to my luck his shipment got delayed so he was In there for 3 days 2 nights instead of 1 night.
When I opened the box the Tupperware container was SEALED and there was NO heat pack in there at all.
He was freezing, in his own poop (green and black) and no signs of food either.
Trust me I'm very upset that his old mom didnt try harder to make him comfortable.
So my problem is that after I warmed him up and have him a 30min soak( head out of water) and let him rest ALOT he still looks out of it
He has walked a total of 15" since I got him yesterday morning.
Is constantly sleeping with all his limbs out.
Flinches in his sleep and looks like he stretches his neck every couple of mins.
His eyes like never open, only after I bathe him or drop water on him.
He drags himself rather then walking...
He won't eat let alone move or Wakeup.
He is in there cause I touch him and he movies. He's not scared of me at all.
I really don't know what to do, I'm scared
Ye I have only had him for 2 days and my boyfriend says I'm over reacting but I'm acting now if something is wrong. My boyfriend has a bearded dragon and a milkshake, we aren't new to reptiles.
Help me!
What do I do????
