we ordered 10 cb retf from reptiledepot.com. all came in healthy except for one, which was very thin and has only 3/4 of his mouth. He seems to survive ok, but is still very thin, and his mouth is not re-growing. we have tried to feed him by hand, but he refuses. he also coughs in his sleep. any ideas/feedback would be great, as we don't want to lose our friend "quarter."
Thanks very much,
Tim and kate

Doesn't reptiledepot.com have a great guarentee on their animals, if they aren't 100% perfect, they will ship another? I thought I remember reading they wouldn't sell any animals they wouldn't want themselves.

1) How is that place?

That is probably where I will order my RETFs.

2) Did you buy the Baby RETF or the adult ones?

3) How much were they?

4) Did they get there overnight? (is there any way you can know when they will come so you can meet the PO man)

5) How big were the baby/adults exactly?

Thanks just trying to plan out my purchase.

did they come grouped together? im sure you already know to have separated the sick one, while my guess would be that it is sickly because of the mouth/feeding problems, you never know, disease could be a problem. keep an eye on the others for weight loss signs and let reptile depot know (although they should have known already) they may have a problem.
