I bought a baby argentine black and white tegu at the hamburg show on february 28. Just yesterday I noticed him stop using his front legs every once in awhile. First thing I thought of was impaction but its only periodically and when i pick him up he uses them again? I am soaking him incase and if it gets worse may try some olive oil. Do you agree impaction? I had a beardie act like this (well alot worse) and it was and I soaked and gave oil and it passed. He is kept onsphagnum moss. I know people are against it with babies but I believe in allowing them to dig. Any suggestions?
