Thanks John and no reply posts are ever too long.



The coconut bark was not fibers it was huge (large marble) size chunks. I am wondering if that didn't contribute to the sore feet. They do look to be caloused (sp?).



As well, the humps in the photo didn't show up. They are actually very large. By comparing it to my male Leo's there is no difference. It really does look male to me but I guess the only way to truely tell is seeing if the vet can tell me. The only reason I even care is the egg factor.



This Leo is 1 years old and was bought from a feed store here in Alaska. That is as much as I know on it's history. I have no Idea what kind of Uro it is. Can you tell just from photo's???



I will keep you all posted. As of yet it isn't eating and no fecal yet...but my Leo's have taught me not to panic in these situations...sometimes it takes time. I also did the bath (there is so much unshed skin clinging to the tail) I am hoping it will shed again here real soon and take that old skin with it.



Oh yes, one other thing. The tank temps are not high enough and I am wondering if this Uro isn't in a hybernation state. I want to bring up the temps slowly. I am going to have to take the top of the tank (it is melting)...Hopefully teh Uro can't get out. It is a 30gal long tank so the sides are real short but I made sure not to put any tall hides near the edges. Don't know how well these things are at stretching out but from what I haves seen I shouldn't have any worries.



Ok..sorry my posts get long too.

Tammy
