I will soon be the proud keeper of a 3.5 foot blackthroat. The poor fellow came to the local exotics shop in terrible condition. Seems to have so much trouble shedding, missing probablly 1/4 of his tail, had a few parasites those have been taken care of according to the shop and seems to have a hard lump on the inside of his underbelly on the left side. The enclosure i built for him is 10x6. My biggest concern is the lump, any ideas as to what it is would be great. I am sure a few of you are asking isn't this the newbie that was asking how to keep a sav only months ago. Well as true as that is the sav is dong fantastic (very much thanks to the advice from all of you here). I have entirely thrown the whole taming thing out the window. He is in a 5x7 inclosure. Eats like a whale. Growing mega quick. He is not a "pet" he is monitor and it is awesome. Again I thank all of you. If I ever stop spending money on my creatures I will buy a camera and post pictures.

how is it a rescue if you got it from a pet shop? sounds more like a purchase to me...
care is not any different than Sav care.

Well when you take in a sick, injured, or mistreated animal that you haven't and don't have to pay for (other than food, housing, and general "maintenance"
that in my mind is a rescue or adoption. If you have any thoughts on the hard spot in the under belly that would be appreciated. Again thanks to you all.
