Took him to my own Vet yesterday & told her what I was dealing with, explained the sympthoms & what it appeared to be, X-rays showed some buildup in 1 lung. My Vet does NOT have any experience with Herps but between the information you gave & what her book said AND she called a colleauge at the Veterainary college who deals with some Herps. Everything the 'expert' suggested was basically what you had already pointed out. She did say her colleauge said it make a couple of months for this to clear up. So the lil guy has got a shot of Batril plus I have to give him 6 more. I'm currently keeping him at about 83 to 85 degrees in a separate tank. Does this all sound right, am going to try NOT to inject him every day, will rotate hind legs then inject a dosage into an earthworm to see if he'll take it in that form, will be easier than stabbing the poor little guy. Is there anything else I should be doing?? Really appreciate this, hope he gets better he seems a little more alert this morning even.

Thanks again

Dean
