My 2 week old yellowheads

zonatatodd Aug 16, 2004 07:11 PM

Hello all !
My little ones are growing up and getting fatter. One of the five, is not doing well, I don't know what's wrong with him.
He's losing weight, gaping his mouth like trying to catch his breath, and not using his legs. On occasion he can use his legs but mostly he doesn't. He still eats a few crickets but is lethargic the rest of the time. Does this sound like anything anyone has seen before? Maybe a digestive obstruction? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Please excuse the quality of the pic ;0)

I love the blue waterwave-like patterns on the back. The contrast with the yellow is great too.

i am sorry that your lizard is sick. they are such cute babies, maybe you should take it to the vet or is it too small? i have heard impaction stories where the legs did not work but i have never witnessed it myself. i hope the little one gets better and please let us know how he/she is doing
