Yeah like a dirty animal but also a bit like a corpse. It came from the same supplier the major breeders and reptile sanctuary in my area use so it's reputable. It smelt sort of like rat poop but also a bit like a dead body but of course the thing is dead and I'm the only one that could even smell it in my household. It's fur did get a bit wet too. I ended up throwing up later in the day so it's possible my nose was in over drive, we are trying to conceive so I might be (fingers crossed) pregnant and that is why I could smell it. I'll see how he is, I likely have a vet follow up because it looks like the store I got him from had a pin worm issue with their feed, I only used theirs for the first 2 weeks he was here and have since put him on the more trustworthy feed but he will likely need to follow up after treatment so if this feed was bad I am pretty sure we will know soon. Thanks for your replies!
