Hi,



If I'm sounding like its an emergency it is. I have seen that one other time, its kind of like hes bleeding internally.



It gets worse real fast. I was taking care of one that looked just like that, actually worse.



It was my friends, who left for college. She said before she sent him to me, she had him to the Vet, because he had some bloody spots(seemed to be under the skin, but would begin to bleed on the skin also, all over his stomach and sides.



The vet said it was some sort of blood infection.



The spots by the time he was sent to me seemed dried, almost brownish, like scab/crust, but within a week, they seemed to not only look like big redish brown bruises, under the skin, but they actually were bleeding on the outside as well, again.



The strangest and scareiest thing I have ever seen.



I kept him away from ALL my other lizards as I did not know really what he had.

Anyway it was terrible, I felt so badly. I tried briefly to soak him, and covered his body with the neoporin, kept him on paper towels.



But the poor guy, did not make it. I was almost glad that he died, it looked so strange, (his bloody body). And he looked so sad.



Even though my friend said she was told a blood infection. I have to wonder.



* My thought, even though it may be totally wrong, I wondered if he was infested with Hookworms and was bleeding internally. SLOWLY.



I would have had him checked for them. And if you go ask your Vet about them.



Gosh I sure hope Houston will be alright, Please take him, and let us know how he does.



So sorry for getting you upset, but when I saw the pic, it was idenical to the one I was sent to care for.
