Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I went out and rescued the dragon. He hasn't been eating or drinking, so I've been giving him a bit of the emergency reptile aid just to keep him hydrated and to start getting nutrition into him. His vet appointment is Thursday. I already found someone willing to permenently adopt him, but I had a question about that. After his vet appointment, if they say he'll recover, should I wait a bit before transfering him to his new owner? I know he can only handle so much. Is it best to just switch him right away or would that be too much of a shock?

Here's a pic of him. He usually keeps his eyes open; he was just shunning the food. You can see how he keeps his arm frozen in that position.

I would definately wait and rehibilitate him yourself before transferring him to his new home. MAke sure he is eating well and seems to be gaining wiat, and any medical problems the vet may find have cleared up before putting him through another move.

good luck!
