Back in March I came here for help because Cheech ate a daffodil. They are very poisonous to lizards. After 2 days in the Vet hospital ICU, Cheech passed away. He was a very special lizard, and I think this picture shows some of his personality. We did everything we could to try and save his life, including a sonogram to see his kidneys and a spinal tap to increase body sugars. The daffodil poisoned his kidneys, which led to GI tract failure and that was fatal. Don't feed your lizards daffodils!!!

And thank you very much for sharing your lesson with us. Hopefully your doing so will save the life of another dragon.

Thanks & once again, Sorry.

I didn't know daffodils were poisonous, I don't think I've ever heard they were. If I did, I had forgotten.
Sorry your lil friend didn't make it, sounds like you sure tried to save him.
