hasn't eaten anything since the mouse 6 days ago. the basking temps are 147 on the high end and ambient in the 80's.Humidity is about 80 depending on the time of day. He won't open his eyes anymore, and vet really doesn't know what to do, says it's too far gone. what to do?
I know i won't deal with the people I bought him from again they have been of know help.
On the up side my Ornate has been doing really great, started eating adult mice this week, and hates my guts so I leave him be.
i'm going see if he improves over this weekend while i'm off work then go from there.
I should have asked more question before ordering him, though they may not have been too honest just the same.
I have located me a baby sav that will be a new addition to the family very healthy, lively fellow at that, a guy bought him yesterday from a local shop then decided he wanted leopard geckos instead.
I've had some in the past so excited to get one again now that my wife and I have a perminant home of our own.
I've got a copy of infernalis' website so should be good to go.

When Chomper fell ill, we tried, I took him to two different vets and spent hundreds of dollars trying, but unfortunately, once his kidneys died, it was just a matter of time before his blood became so polluted that he finally gave up.
The problem is with these things, is Monitors are such rugged animals that they can run around for weeks with failed organs.
yah, i'm going to definately have a hard time deciding on the verdict, he was in such poor condition when I got him 2 weeks ago and the online store denied him looking sickly in any of the photos I sent to them. He had already used his fat reserve before I ever received him, he was just about skin and bones.
