Thanks for the info - we have Clem home now - I'm trying to attach a pic that I just took. I think Clem's in shock.

He was cold when we picked him up and I had him in my shirt during the 5 min car ride back to our house - he seems like he started warming up and continued to do so after we got the tank set up again with the lights and warming pad. Evidently the UV was out yesterday, and I don't think he fully warmed back up afterwards. I put him on the rock an hour ago and he hasn't moved off of it.

He's been 'coughing' and I can feel him 'rattling' inside when he coughs. (I had my hand next to him during one of the times he looked like he was trying to throw up and brushed along his ribs to check him). Having had lizards before (geckos, alligator lizards, and anoles), I know this isn't a good sign.

If he makes it through the night, he should be okay, but I'm worried about him.

Thanks all the info on the websites and pictures - that's how I managed to identify his species, since my sister in law wasn't sure.

Sincerely,

Jill
