It poured rain on my head today....... it was good news for Nemo because I was able to run her into the city. Did blood work and a culture, but even the herptologist has not seen this before. She indicated that this is a pigment issue (not a thermal burn) directly related to a metabolic disorder. We are running tests now, but I don't know how much I can do for her. The innitial consult ran me $300 and that didn't include the gas to and from town. The herptologist is wonderful though and promises to do everything she can. I'll post as soon as I get test results, but for now we are doing a general de-worm/de-parasite to see if that will clear it up. I was not aware that chams needed to be dewormed, any comments??? Also, we confirmed that she is again working her way towards gravid and the vet points out that that is a good sign, she's still healthy enough to give us a good chance of saving her. I greatly appreciate all advice given. Lele a special thanks to you for your concern and advice. It was a very long drive, and Nemo is upset with me over it, but if it saves her life it was worth it.
