I hope you cheer up... and dont give up on the ones you still have, they are counting on you.

i haven't given up. i really want them to live but you sort of reach a point where you become sadistic. i used to bawl hysterically when one of my lizards died. now i accept it as a known fact and yes that bothers me alot but i don't know what to do about it. the same person at a university has autopsied every lizard and the only thing she has found is full to slight mineralization in all animals, more on the slight side.

i don't know what to do. i could ask my mom to take them since she has my uros but what if they really have an illness, then it would go to the uros too. same thing if i asked someone here to take them, i don't think they have a bad bacteria or virus, i think there is mold in the house compromising their immunity but i can't prove that. what if i sent them to someone and their lizards died? the only other choice i have is finding someone who knows about lizards yet doesn't have any and that is like finding a needle in a haystack. i don't want to give up my lizards but i would for their health.

I'm so sorry too, we had a problem with damp in our house a few years ago, so we redecorated the downstairs rooms but before hanging the new paper we coated the interior walls with a damp seal, that keeps all the moisture thats soaked through the walls outside, it made a real difference. Before we did that we bought a dehumidifier for the lounge and it was shocking to see how much water it absorbed every day, just a suggestion but maybe you could try a dehumidifier in the room you keep your lizards in?

I'm sorry, Vonnie.

When mine died like this, I had not changed anything; we still lived in the same house where I'd kept them for years. Are you sure it's not viral?
