hi guys!
My name is Danielle and I’m new to the forum! I have two 5 month old baby sulcatas that I love dearly! However, one of them is sick! Leonard has been very lethargic lately, he hasn’t been eating, even rejected strawberries. His eyes are now shut and the sides of his shell are starting to get soft.
I keep his warm area of the habitat no hotter than 95. With a gage that shuts off the heat lamp at that temp. I also have them on coconut fiber. I mist their habitat twice daily and bathe them once a day for 5 minutes.
I have a uvb/uva light that stays on for 8 hours. (Too cold to take outside). I feed them turnip greens, collard greens and mustard greens. I also use a calcium with d3 supplement every other day.
I took him to the vet today and they believe he is calcium deficient. They gave him calcium and b12 injections and medicine to bring home.
They also said that because only one is sick that it could be a birth defect.
When I brought him home, about 6 hours later I noticed he now has snot bubbles.
Can someone help with what may be wrong with him? Or what I can do better for him?
Thank you so much!
