So I got my new B/W Tegu about 1.5 months ago, he is a small baby. I feed Super worms 1st day, Turkey/Cod Liver Oil/Beef Liver 2nd day, then 2 pinky's 3rd day and repeat that process. Was going extremely well and he sheds about every week- 2 weeks and poops about every 1-2 days.

NOW, heres where the problem started, about 2 weeks ago i noticed the little turd eating the reptile bark in the cage, not just one piece, but before I could get to him he downed 3 considerably big chucks. I know hes not hungry because he gets full every day and its fresh oven baked reptile forest bark.

So the last week or so he hasn't even pooped and his stomach is swollen huge, I stopped feeding him yesterday and don't plan on feeding him again till he poops. I tried warm water soaks, massaging his stomach and such but no luck.

The basking spot is 110, cool side 80 and humidity is around 60-70% and I spray daily. using 160w SB Mega Ray bulb with inferred heat light.

I figured it would finally pass but I don't think bark with dissolve much in him. Hes still wanting food super bad.

Any positive advice or solutions would be great.
