He looks better, but he isn't fully recovered yet. has he eaten?

He has eaten two super worms. He hasn't eaten any cricket though.

At first I wanted to say it looks like a fungal or bacterial infection. Honestly, that first pic of him looked like if you leave a block of cheese in the fridge for too long. O.O Its not normal. White splotches are normal but white spots ringed by the dark coloring isn't.

But the second pic and the fact he is eating makes me rethink things. The coloring looks much better but the spots still have me worried. I think you need to see a vet or see if the local pet store has competent workers who know there animals. You may be able to talk with a local zoo herp specialist (if they have a reptile house then they have someone who knows about this stuff, or should anyway).

I'm still leaning towards some sort of bacteria or fungus but it may be restricted to the skin and may not be affecting the rest of him yet. Its plausible its getting better on its own (he does look better in the second pic) but you dont want to bank on that. I'd see a specialist just to be sure.

I have emailed Dr. Frye, and I sent him the pictures I've posted on this thread. We will wait to see what he says. In the meantime, Lawrence has stayed in his water bowl when we put him in there, which itself is a minor victory. We also have the contact info of the vet the petstore uses for their animals, so we may try there next. We live in a small town and there isn't a dedicated exotic pet veterinarian within four hours of us.
Overall, Lawrence looks better but isn't acting any different.

Hello World!

In order to obtain the medicine that Lawrence needed, according to Dr. Frye's email diagnosis, he had to have a vet exam. Since I was so desperate to keep him healthy, I splurged for the exam. Lawrence has a clean bill of health! They tested him for fungal and bacterial infections and they came up negative. The vet is special ordering us an appetite stimulant called Metronidizole that should help him eat on his own.

Here is our most recent pic of him. His color is looking much better!

What great news. Hope Lawrence eats soon.
