i had just bought a baby water monitor and i am pretty sure he already had it but 2 weeks later he started being a little more fatigued and then died so they sent me another and my question is what can i do to prevent it or help at least help prevent, i dont know if it matters at all but I increased his basking spot from 110 to 130 Degrees, any feedback would be great, i would hate to see another monitor experience this, thank you

Take a stool sample to a Vet to be tested when you get your next monitor.It only cost about $20.Tape worms build up fast and Droncit is the only medicine that works and is safe.You can only get it from a Vet.
