I'm usually just happy being a lurker trying to understand how to care for these beautiful little critters but with the last diagnostic (which ran up an expensive bill for a college student)- I gotta admit defeat after unsuccessfully trying MONTHS to help aid this little one with her worms.
Miles came into my life in odd circumstance. A friend of mine bought her from a pet store thinking she'd make the perfect gift (I was so stoked..) - I took her to the only reptile vet in town and was both equally surprised and saddened by what he had to say. She's a healthy tort, for the condition she'd been living in before me but like most pets bought from stores; she was riddled with worms.
I have her in a pretty solid indoor enclosure. 50 gallon Rubbermaid tub, coconut coir substrate, a place to hide, few little leafy decorations and lightbulbs to meet her needs. She's fed lettuce and carrots and I really do try to get her to like kale! My guess is her appetite is sometimes compromised by her condition :/
The vet pretty much patted me on the back, gave me a mini bottle of medicine and wished me luck.
I seriously don't know if it's helped her condition or if she's gotten any better and I really wish I could afford more frequent vet visits.
I'm looking for an experienced RT handler to adopt her for free. I just really want someone that will know how to give this little one what she needs.
