jeanniemalinda Oct 23, 2003 07:30 PM

Bought him 3 weeks ago. It was 7" fromtip of nose to end of tail. He at mini-grashoppers and seemed fine until about 3 days ago. Stopped eatig and started being very lethargic. Then today he succombed. I have a heat lamp and the basking area is btween 90- 105. I can't imagine what went wrong and I'm sooooooo very sad. Any ideas? Thanks

the changes in enviroment, even with the best of husbandry, they stress so easily those first 3 months.

There is no way to know for sure unless pathology is done, it could have been a variety of things, but I think most often when you are sure diet and enviroment were correct, its just the stress of the change.
