Hi..I posted about a week ago about my BTS that had chronic foot infections (and eyes, nose and mouth infections) and was kept on newspaper...after reading here that newspaper could be problematic, I immediately switched to shredded bark..The results have been amazing..in just a little over a week my lizard's feet, eyes and mouth are 90% cleared up, his appetite has doubled, he's put some weight on and he's much more alert and active...Is it possible for a lizard to be allergic to newpaper? Has anyone here kept BTS on newspaper long term? I should say that the newpapers were old and had been stored in a plastic bag in a dry closet (I had read somewhere that the ink from fresh newsprint gave off irritating fumes and old was better--ha!)..Anyhow, I feel really bad and stupid that I've been fighting this problem for over a year, and apparently I caused it myself...sigh...If anyone has any opinions or input I'd like to hear it...Thanks...
