femoral pore plugs removed

fc3schick87 Jun 24, 2009 01:38 AM

well i got my ausi water dragons today from agama international outdoor farm and they look great!! they had alot of stuck shed and they insisted on soaking almost all day, the male had his whole belly shed all the way to his tail, it was real old THICK shed i think because it removed some of his femoral plugs leaving holes he had waxy plugs before i left to work and didnt when i got home, there was a mass of skin in the tub when i got home from work and i gave him a good look over and found the holes where his plugs should be. sure enough i found them in his shed skin.. yuck....

i read on an iguana site that if it happens you have to keep an eye on the pores to make sure they dont get infected, and posibly require topical/oral antibiotic.
