Is anyone else having issues with dry skin as the weather turns? My poor boy started getting sores on the insides of his legs - at least they looked like sores, and he didn't really want me touching them (sorry, I didn't take pics). I was bathing him at least every other day if not once a day, and spraying his cage down twice a day... and I always find him burrowed into his cypress where its still damp. But still with the dry skin. I know I have dry skin right now (my hands are starting to crack- hate this Midwest living sometimes!).
Anyway, I started rubbing him down with A/D ointment about a week and a half ago, and he looks SO much better and seems way happier! The spots on his legs are peeling away with new healthier looking skin underneath. He looks very shiny and slick right now lol
Just wondering if I have an extra sensitive Gu, or if this is normal during these dry, cold climes? This is something I never considered when I first got a tegu, that I'd be giving him moisturizing massages every couple of days![]()
