continued from last post...i dont have him right now because i only had him 3 weeks i brought him back to the pet store and they offered to hold him a few days see if they can get him to eat and the owner said he was gonna give him some type of dewormer? they insist he was super healthy. well after having him for less than 24 hours they called me and told me hes eating like a champ and i could come get him or wait a few more days.. its hard to believe he wouldnt eat for me for a week but in less than 24 hrs hes eating for them? so i simply told them to hold him one or 2 more days and when they call me to pick him up not to feed him ahead of time becuase i want to see him eat myself.could they have treated him that fast for somthing and they're just not telling me..(the guy is trying to make it like im crazy and he ate for him no prob.) so is it ok for me to go get him if he had parasites would he still eat?i paid 50 for him and dont think i should pay that much for a sick lizard so what should i look for? or could he smell the other male in my room and maybe that was stressing him out? sorry for such a long post just trying to let you guys know everything possible..glass rubbing , light brown poop, not eating, regurgitating shed skin? stress or sick? and thank you all ahead of time i know ill get some good answers thats why i always come here!
