i would like to thank everyone who helped me try to raise Iggie. he passed today due to what the vet called Hatchling Failure Syndrome.
allthough i had the wrong info about how to raise him in the beginning, i spent alot of time and money on products to help him out, i soaked him regularly and he appeared to be drinking all the time. here is a link to what Hatchling Failure Syndrome is http://www.sulcata-station.org/pdf/hatchfail.pdf


i will be looking for another sulcata soon, hopefully a little older and me a little better informed,

I have four, all rescues, and have turned down more.

That's so sad about Iggy. I've been there at one time or another, and I know how upsetting it can be. Hugs!

I was so sorry when I read your thread about Iggie. At times like these it's so hard to know what to say, but I am sorry for your loss and Iggie will be missed. :(

Sorry to hear the news. It's very tough to lose a pet.

Eat a whole gallon of chunk monkey ice cream with a big spoon or whatever helps.

Tomorrow is another day and the sun will be out again. It'll be a new day.

When you are ready to talk more about it, or want someone to occupy Iggy's old table, we'll be here.

FYI- the pdf link failed. Avoid using punctuation right after web addresses.

So sorry to hear about Iggie :-( I would also encourage you to check with rescues and craigslist when looking for another sully. Hope you feel better, it is always difficult to lose a pet friend.
