My first reptile was a water monitor. I raised it up, my husbandry was lacking but it grew quickly and never seemed to have any problems that I was aware of. One day I noticed some bubbling from a nostril. I took the monitor straight to the vet. The man looked him over and said he thought he had found the problem. I held the poor fella tightly while the vet proceeded to pull a splinter of cypress about 2-1/2" long from the lizards nose hole with a pair of hemostats. This happened a long time ago but I think the vet said the splinter had caused an infection that would have quickly spread to the u.r.
